I cannot express enough gratitude to Angus Shen, my first philosophy teacher, whose guidance sparked my love for philosophical inquiry.  I offer my sincere appreciation for the inspiration and learning opportunities he provided, which continue to influence my intellectual work today.

I extend my heartfelt thanks to Sally Allen, my counselor, whose unwavering support and encouragement have been a cornerstone of my journey. Her advice has nurtured my mental resilience, enabling me to navigate challenges with confidence and clarity. 

I am deeply grateful to my mom for her steadfast belief in me and her calming presence during moments of doubt. Her love has been my anchor, giving me the courage to pursue my passions. Thank you for always being my greatest source of strength.

A special thank you, whose life lessons have been a profound influence on me. His example has taught me the value of compassion and staying true to oneself. Thanks for being my role model along the way.

I am deeply appreciative of my support network, whose inspiration and help have made a significant impact:
