Thank you for all the support and guidance you have given us throughout this mentorship journey. We truly appreciate your help in not only guiding our research process, as well as refining our research paper, but also for showing us the true spirit of research. For instance, you allowed us to understand that what is important is evaluating our methodology and fine tuning it, rather than getting our desired results the first time. Our time in HSSRP has been incredibly meaningful, and we couldn't thank you enough for making this experience an enriching and fulfilling one. Once again, thank you for your invaluable support!

Sincerely,

Dear Dr Lee,

Thank you for your patient guidance and many insights. Your specific and detailed suggestions helped us greatly, allowing us to transform our at first messy collection of data into a coherent piece that we could be happy with. Even though we may not have always given you enough time to vet our work before our meetings, or gave you enough time to read through our writing, you always did whatever you could to help us in any way possible, going to great lengths to understand the direction of our research and accordingly give advice, which reminded us of the reason why we took up this journey in the first place. Your passion and dedication as a mentor was truly inspiring, and it was clear that you genuinely cared about our project and what you could do to make this experience as good as possible for us. Your help and presence made the experience all the more so special for all three of us, and we learnt so much from you through our meetings and interactions. We really hope you enjoyed HSSRP as much as we did. Thank you so much!

Dear Prof Peh,

The first time we met at the start of this HSSRP journey, I left the meeting buzzing with excitement because I, and I quote from my texts to my friends, "love my mentor because she is so fun and amazing and energetic" (and this view of mine has not changed). Throughout this whole process you have been the kindest, most warm and inviting mentor you could possibly have been, and through that you really made this process truly memorable. Thank you for supporting me through your ups and downs, and for making this whole process much less scary than it would have been without you. I truly valued this experience of learning from you, and have taken away more than just research knowledge: your warmth and energy has taught me how a mentorship can feel like beyond just an giving of all that sage advice.

I entered each of our meetings mildly anxious and afraid that something would go horribly wrong, and left each of them filled with excitement for what was to come. Your presence throughout this whole process truly did make it that much more enjoyable. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for the mentorship, the occasional laughs, and the encouragement.

Cheers,

Thank you very much for your understanding and support throughout our 2025 HSSRP journey! From meeting with us on weekly schedules to teaching us about theoretical frameworks alongside how to make our presentation captivating, you provided us a medium to gain invaluable insight on the future of research, especially of psychology.

Whenever adversity hit us in the face, we thank you for prompting us toward discussion rather than solution as we transcended to becoming better researchers ourselves. Thank you for the countless emails, the countless hours and the countless tweaks you put up with when it came to both our paper and presentation.

Apart from solely what went on paper, thank you for giving us a voice for our concerns on the mental well-being of youth on WhatsApp. Furthermore, thank you for the endless clarifications and skills you have imparted in us.

As we come to the end of our HSSRP journey, we want to say that we really appreciate your guidance over the last year and will never forget this enriching yet exciting road to inquiry.

We wish you all the best in the future.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for all your guidance throughout HSSRP. I’m especially grateful for how you consistently challenged me to think more critically and pushed me to strengthen my arguments without ever discouraging me. Your feedback was always incisive yet encouraging, and it genuinely helped me grow as a researcher.

I also want to thank you for introducing me to perspectives and areas (particularly global learning!) that I would have otherwise overlooked. Your insights made the topic not just academically meaningful, but deeply interesting, and they shaped the direction of my project in ways I hadn’t expected at the start.

Thank you once again for your patience, your high standards, and the faith you had in my ability to improve. It made all the difference.

Dear Dr Grace,

Thank you so much for guiding us through this whole research journey. When we first started, we didn’t know how to carry out a research formally. Through your feedback, we began to see the products of our research clearly — like when you helped us narrow our scope of research when it was too broad or when you guided us to connect our findings to theory. You were patient but also straightforward, and that helped us improve a lot faster. We really appreciate how you always took the time to read our drafts and point out what we could do better, even when you had a busy schedule.

Through your mentorship, we learned not just about research, but also how to think critically and writing with clarity. You reminded us that research isn’t just about getting results, but about understanding the process — asking the right questions, being open to change, and learning from our mistakes. We also really valued how approachable and kind you were throughout this journey, which made the whole process less intimidating.

Thank you once again for your unwavering patience, honesty, and encouragement. We've genuinely learned a lot from you, and we’re grateful to have had the chance to work under your mentorship.

We are extremely grateful for your feedback and advice, guiding us throughout our research journey. When we first started our HSSRP journey, we barely had any knowledge on how to write a research paper, especially our literature review, where we did not know how to include a theoretical framework in our review.

This project would not have been possible without your guidance, from teaching us how to do basic descriptive data analysis, to more in depth correlation and ANOVA analysis. We’re extremely grateful that you have taken the time to teach us these skills, as we believe that these would be the skills that follow us for a lifetime, as well as providing us a head start with performing data analysis. We’re also thankful to you for sacrificing your time to mentor us, even making last-minute arrangements in order to meet us and teach us how to perform data analysis (pretty much from scratch).

Best wishes,

Mingsi and Chloe

Dear Prof. Luyt,

Thank you very much for your mentorship throughout this research project. Your guidance and expertise at each stage made a real difference, and I am especially grateful for your clear, detailed feedback. As this was my first humanities research study, I was often unsure about best practices and the preferred direction. Your advice helped me clarify the sampling strategy, frame and refine the research questions, and decide how to approach the thematic coding in a systematic way.

I also appreciated the way you pressed me to connect the dots in the literature, and present the discussion in an interesting way. Most of all, our regular meetings were very helpful to iterate and improve on the work. Thank you again for the time, patience, and care you invested in this project. I have learnt a great deal from the process, and I am grateful for your support.

Sincerely,
Jiang Muzhen

Dear Dr Lee,

Thank you so much for patiently guiding us throughout our HSSRP journey! As it was our first time embarking on a research study, there were multiple areas that we needed to clarify, from the literature review, data collection, to the structuring of our hypotheses. We have all learnt so much from you throughout the online sessions, and we really appreciate how you took the time to look through the various drafts of our report and gave us comments on how to improve it.

This experience has definitely allowed to us to gain a deeper understanding into the process of research, where you also taught us data coding and cross tabulation; methods that were unfamiliar to us just a year before. We are really grateful for your guidance the past year, and are honoured to have experienced our first research journey with you!

Best wishes,

Dear Dr Poh,

Thank you for continuously being there for us and providing us with your expert insights on the topic that we were researching in. We are ever grateful for the detailed and informative feedbacks that were always given to us. We still remember the time when you have lead us through a step by step process on how to perform analysis on our corpus. From categorising our corpus, to grouping our elements into baskets and lastly grouping those baskets into thematic baskets, your guidance and patience had warmed our hearts. We also remember another time when you have explained to use the areas for improvement in our paper. We did not have much experience with writing academic papers and it was a challenge to write succinctly, yet you kept pointing us in the right direction and even suggested ways to help us cut down parts of our paper that were unnecessary. This year’s HSSRP journey could not have been a more fulfilling and enjoyable one without your presence. If we were to choose once more, without hesitation, we would pick to submit a proposal for your research topic once more. We hope you enjoyed working with us as much as we did!

Thank you Dr Poh!

Best,

Thank you so much for your invaluable guidance throughout our project. We’re truly grateful for your willingness to meet with us so often, even beyond the required number of sessions, to help us clarify our doubts and progress smoothly. Thank you for providing us with so many additional resources, such as the research papers and slides on conducting and presenting research. They were especially helpful, as we were completely new to the process and learnt a great deal from them. We also appreciate your patience with us, especially when we were still rather quiet at the beginning as we did not know what to say and were still trying to familiarise ourselves with the research. Thank you for all your support and encouragement; we really enjoyed the research journey and couldn’t have completed our paper successfully without your help. Wishing you all the best!

Dear Dr Gulizar,

Thank you for giving us the chance to work under your mentorship, and for taking valuable time to guide us along our first research journey. It has been an extremely pleasant first experience writing a real research and we are so incredibly grateful for your kind advice and eternal patience. We appreciate your willingness to meet us for reviews so frequently, as well as your promptness in replying to our emails (even when you might be very busy, or overseas!)

Even though we were quite clueless and confused at some points (especially when we were still trying to refine our RQ), you were still very understanding and encouraging. We were initially quite intimidated by the prospect of writing a research paper, but your friendliness really made the process much less daunting :)

While you mentioned that quantitative research methods were not exactly your forte, we are still deeply grateful for your efforts to aid us in analysing our survey data. We genuinely would not have been able to make it this far without your invaluable comments and feedback which made us rethink our preconceived assumptions to elevate our research paper. We wish you all the best in your future endeavours, and we will be forever grateful to you :)

Dear Professor Andree Hartanto,

Thank you so much for your guidance and support throughout the programme. We truly appreciate the time and effort you dedicated to helping us at every stage of the project. From patiently teaching us how to collect and analyse data with Likert scales, to helping us refine our survey questions and addressing our uncertainties, your mentorship has been invaluable.

One moment that stood out for us was when you introduced us to JASP and showed us how to properly analyse our graphs. Since this tool was completely unfamiliar to us, your clear explanations and encouragement made something that first felt overwhelming become an important skill we could actually use with confidence.

Beyond the technical skills, what we are most grateful for is the encouragement, constructive critiques, and patience you showed throughout. We have learned so much from you, and your guidance has made this experience both meaningful and memorable.

Sincerely,
Carlos, Kyle, and Shlok

Dear Dr Cook,

Thank you for helping me through HSSRP, and having the patience to guide me through my mistakes. Your quick response time and your insightful comments helped me to figure out how to improve my paper and better refine it. On top of that, you helped me decide on a scope that is relevant and novel for Myanmar that I myself could not think of. Thanks to your unwavering support throughout the program, I manage to gleam many insights and knowledge about political science that I would use in the future. I am extremely grateful to have you as my expert-mentor throughout this 9 month journey! Thank You!

Best,

Tristan

Dear Dr Ooi,

Thank you for your constant and insightful guidance along every step of the way.

At the start of the research journey, you recognised my inexperience and rather than give up on me, you aided me in understanding the depth and scope of the topic, to allow me to write on a novel and interest-piquing topic.

Along every step of the way, your knowledge on psycholinguistics and its multiple aspects allowed you to give me priceless advice on how to better my proposal. Especially concerning the methodology, your insight into the various types of ways that research is conducted in the psychology sphere allowed me to effectively conduct a questionnaire with specific targets.

Finally, your enthusiasm and constant motivation encouraged me to face challenges with resilience and a dauntless mentality. Thank you for your help over the last 7 months, and I hope to see you again soon!

Best,

Anirudh Rao
