Jenny Lou Pangilinan-Riel was nominated by Jack Gilbert, a member of the community.
Ms. Pangilinan-Riel is the coach of the BHS robotics team and has led them to various successes in their competitions. Gilbert first met Ms. Pangilinan-Riel while working to enroll educators at Bernalillo High School into retirement accounts. Ms. Pangilinan-Riel shared her story and described the challenges she faces as an immigrant.
"As someone who lives in the Bernalillo area and who works intimately with the educators of the Bernalillo School District, I am familiar with the challenges that students face and the effects that these limitations place upon their future prospects," Gilbert said. "The successes they have realized under Ms. Pangilinan-Riel's mentorship are extraordinary, and the implications for these students' academic and professional development is staggering."
These students typically receive limited support in regards to high-tech education and being prepared for future careers. Ms. Pangilinan-Riel leads students toward successful careers, and her efforts are reflected in the superior results her students have achieved in numerous competitions.
"Her personal story and journey, which, in itself is extraordinary, only serves to confirm that this teacher is a true LifeChanger," Gilbert said.
Jennylou is passionate about her career as a teacher. She loves to attend seminars and training to enhance her skills and knowledge respecting her discipline and share her expertise through seminars and training for teachers to acquire valuable skills to be implemented in their respective classrooms in order foster students' learning. She has been a great robotics teacher and an excellent mentor to other teachers and students. She's a Real Life Changer.
Master Jennylou was my reasearch adviser at Cavite Nat'l HS in the Philippines. She is a real life changer. Back then our school only has old model computers that run on Windows ME. When she became the mentor (adviser) of the DPSA (a telcom sponsored website design and video blog making contest that showcases the municipalities' various culture), she inspired and work hard with us to do our best. In the end, we became one of the finalists and even won a special award. Thus awarding new computers to our school enabling students to work in a smaller student to computer ratio (before, I remember that we work in 3 students : 1 computer). After helping improve our computer facilities, she didn't stop amd continued to aim for more. She mentored me in coding a biometric log-in system for the school, another colegue for our library database, and another for a computer directory for the school. As one who have been inspired by her drive, I can assure that she is a Real Life Changer.
Love u n I miss u thank u for always being there for me
I have known Ms. Pangilinan-Riel since she first came to the Bernalillo Public Schools. Before my retirement, I worked with the Special Education Department. Ms. Riel gave her all to the students we provided with assistance. She went out of her way to be helpful to these students. With her encouragement and the help of their Special Education Teacher, these student were able to achieve success to a point never possible without someone who care and took the time. Ms. Riel is a very special person always finding ways to teach her students and be helpful to other teachers. The Math department is very fortunate to have her as part of their team, the students love her and will learn well with her and the school district could never find another person as understanding of what the district needs to make successful learners. Ms. Riel, most definitely deserves the Life Changer of the Year Award for her hard work and persistence with students to make them successful.
I was a student of Mommy J, we call her that, back when she was in Cavite National Science High School. She was my first year adviser and my robotics coach for years. As a freshman, it would really take a lot to be able to adjust to the system of high school, especially that our school is no ordinary, it crushes every bits of you and mold you into this ready-in-real-world-student. She is a teacher, a life coach, a best friend and especially she is a mother to all of her students. She has this drive in herself to educate and influence people to push themselves to boundaries without belittling other people because she believe in them, us, her students. You can really see that her passion is in teaching - academically and morally. If given the chance to be a high school freshman again, I would still choose Mommy J to be my first mentor because I wouldn't be where I am now if it wasn't for her.
