I went to Columbia international college in 2012, when I first attended his class, I thought he was very passionate about music, he also tried to learn student’s names and he would remember all of our names in a short time, you can tell that he truly cares so much about his students, Mr Lawlis is a kind-hearted person and well-respected teacher.
Then he learnt that I wanted to be a filmmaker, he was very excited about it, he asked me to if he can be in my movies in the future, I said of course, then two days later, I got the opportunity to create a parody of Gangnam Style for Columbia International College, I invited him to be my special guest for that video, he was like “I thought you’d never ask... “
Then he did it! Just like that, he was so awesome, we had such a fun time filming all the scenes together, he was so supportive of me, he wanted me to succeed more than I wanted to, I am so lucky to have known him and he is by far the best teacher I know, he was such a joyful person that he brightens up the room wherever he goes..rest in peace Mr Lawlis, you will always have a special place in my heart, thank you for being an amazing human!
