Acknowledgements

Acknowledgement serves as a profound and formal expression of gratitude, recognizing the contributions of those who have meaningfully shaped one’s journey, whether through direct support, inspiration, or collaboration (Pitt & Russell, 2004). 

Life, with its intricate mosaic of encounters, intertwines individuals and experiences that collectively mould one’s character and perspective. Over the years, I have been fortunate to cross paths with various individuals—mentors, educators, personal tutors and supervisors—who have generously shared their wisdom, guidance, and expertise. These individuals equipped me with the tools necessary to navigate complex academic and personal landscapes.

Friends and peers, with their camaraderie and solidarity, have stood as unwavering allies, offering encouragement and support during moments of challenge and triumph alike. Each encounter has held a purpose, whether fleeting or enduring, contributing uniquely to my evolution and the person I aspire to be.

This acknowledgements page is dedicated to those who have stood steadfastly by my side, particularly during times of adversity. In my most challenging moments, personal tutors, health professionals, advisors, and family members have been unwavering pillars of strength, offering their wisdom, empathy, and care. Their acts of kindness and generosity are a testament to the interconnectedness of humanity. As Harari (2014) aptly observes, humans are inherently social beings, thriving through connections and shared experiences. My journey has not been solitary; it has been enriched by the hands that lifted me and the hearts that empathized with my struggles. The unwavering support of these individuals has been instrumental in enabling me to navigate life’s trials and to emerge with resilience, determination, and gratitude.

In reflection, I am profoundly grateful for all who have touched my life, whether through acts of kindness, shared wisdom, or even moments of adversity that became invaluable lessons. Each person has left an indelible imprint on my path, shaping my perspectives and nurturing my growth. This acknowledgements page recognizes not only those who have been there in times of joy but also those who stood with me through difficulty, reaffirming my belief in the power of connection, empathy, and shared humanity.
