Thank you very much for mentoring me, Dr. Lee! The feedback and advice you’ve been giving me for the past few months has been invaluable.

I appreciate you being very patient and detailed when explaining some of the more technical aspects of the study like data analysis; it was very helpful. I also thank you for being so supportive and understanding even when I had a major schedule slip. Besides that, I’d just like to add that I very much enjoyed discussing my research proposal with you. It was one of the highlights of my HSSRP experience.

It’s been both a joy and an honour to have been mentored by you during HSSRP. Once again, thank you for mentoring me!

Dear Professor Pascal,

I would first like to thank you for your tireless guidance over the course of this mentorship program. When I first entered the HSSRP, I was confused about how even to write a Research Paper, and it was only through constantly asking you for clarification that this matter was elucidated. You were always encouraging to me, especially when I had hit roadblocks in my research, and your willingness to go above and beyond (for example meeting with myself and Mr Chua at 7AM in the US) has made a very great impression on me--not to mention your late-night reviews of my paper.
In addition, you were always willing to provide me with additional material to read up on and refer to, and your response time to my emails was truly impressive.

You've been an excellent Expert-Mentor and encouraging guide, and for that, thank you.

To: Mr Nicholas Netto, SUSS; From: NYGHP9

2023-10-18 04:38:20 UTC

Dear Mr Netto,

The past months have been much of a roller coaster ride - the kind that turns you around and around in circles of every direction possible.

First came the journey upwards, or what is known as the lift hill. I would count this as all the time leading up to the data collection, ranging all the way from the moment I decided on the research topic to the very instant before the first resident stepped into the interview room at the Home. This whole period of time filled me with excitement, but also apprehension at the uncertainty of what lay ahead. I’m ever so grateful for your multiple rounds of effective comments on the methods of data collection that could be considered, including the mix of quantitative and qualitative methods which were adopted in the end.

What followed was the climax - the data collection and analysis. Thank you for spending so much time on the first day of the surveys and interviews to provide guidance on the most suitable ways to communicate with the residents, and thank you for your suggestions when I felt overwhelmed by the large amounts of data that had to be analysed. I found it a lot easier to approach the data when I could envision how I wanted the final research paper to turn out.

Finally, it is now the downward journey - the acceleration towards the end of HSSRP. I won’t say much about it yet, because there’s still three more important events to come!

In conclusion, I really appreciate the time you took out of your schedule to provide detailed feedback again and again and again. The feedback was always sharp and extremely clear in a way that left me with loads of inspiration and ideas on how I could continue improving. I cannot imagine how the research paper would have turned out without your constant guidance and encouragement throughout every part of my HSSRP journey.

Dear Dr. Kam,

We would like to put forth our profound gratitude for the invaluable mentorship and support that you have provided to our group. Your erudition has been nothing short of pivotal in shaping both of our intellectual pursuits.

Although we perhaps did not meet as often as we would have liked, your sagacious counsel was tremendous in bestowing lucidity upon the multifaceted and multifarious subject matter we were delving into. With your support, we were encouraged to embrace and discuss concepts found around a broader spectrum of inquiry.

We will soon be progressing onward with our pursuits regarding the humanities, but your aid has been crucial in allowing us to take yet another step on this particular journey, and will continue to serve as an enduring font to inspiration. We hope we can induce more opportunities to come under your guidance, and eagerly anticipate perpetuating the understanding you have bequeathed to us, for we are all students of the profession of life.

Thank you.

thank you for your support and guidance these past few months! despite not getting to meet with you every hssrp session, the days we had our meetings were truly insightful and gave us a lot of food for thought while writing our report. you helped us consider perspectives and ideas that we wouldn’t have thought about otherwise, and your advice helped us explore our topic with greater depth and breadth. you encouraged us to think critically and develop our ideas more thoroughly, and you've also been extremely supportive, always encouraging us to pursue our research further. for that we are extremely grateful. thank you for all your input and always being there for us, our hssrp experience wouldn’t be what it is without you!

Thank you Mr Tan for your guidance throughout this entire HSSRP project. We are truly grateful to you for accommodating to our schedules due to the difference in timezones and attending our meetings despite them being very early in the morning for you. Your comments and suggestions for all our different drafts of work were very insightful and helped us work towards an end product which we were all very happy with 😁💯

Dear Dr Lee,

Thank you for the past year of mentorship. Thank you for exposing me to the depths of qualitative research and how to obtain and present my findings without the use of numbers. The past year was a fulfilling one, as I transitioned from a concerned consumer to understanding industry related issues on local, regional and global scales, broadening my horizons over global pressing issues. Thank you for your timely replies and suggestions to my presentation slides and papers, and most importantly thank you for taking your precious time to allow me to conduct a dry run of the presentation before project review. Once again, thank you for the past year of mentorship and all the best for the future!

Yours sincerely,

Dear Dr Rao,

Deepest thanks for your immense support throughout our HSSRP journey. Even though we started of relatively unsure of what we wanted to do during this programme, it was your mentorship and advice that not only gave us a clear direction on our research, but also how to go about doing it. Without you, we would not have gotten in contact with multiple experts whom we interviewed that were integral towards our paper, and we would not have been able to refine and make changes to our paper such that it was able to be published.

Thank you for always keeping track of our progress and pushing us to be better and better. Our success would not have been possible without you, and we truly hope we did you proud!

You have made this research experience very insightful and memorable for us and we appreciate all of your efforts! Once again, thank you so much for everything!

Dear Professor Hoe,

I am extremely grateful for the unlimited amounts of patience you have given to me and the project throughout the year. Your advice and insights on the topic has opened many windows for me and given me much knowledge on the topic of arts. Your feedback, advice and questions that were although tough to answer had helped me grow and mature my mindset in the arts, I could not have continued on with this programme without your mentoring and the writing of the research paper would not have been possible. Thank you so much for your time and dedication!

Thank you for helping us embark on our journeys in the field of Philosophy, for helping to spark our curiosity and develop it across the span of the past year! Over this HSSRP process we have been able to see ourselves grow as thinkers and learners of Philosophy as a Humanities subject, with you to thank for shaping us as your mentees from square one. With that said, we hope you have enjoyed having us as your mentees as much as we have appreciated this opportunity to be mentored by you. Have a great rest of the year :)}
