First and foremost, I want to thank God for guiding us throughout our journey as researchers. There were countless nights without proper sleep, filled with stress and pressure, but through His grace, He gave us the strength, wisdom, and perseverance to continue. As it is written in Proverbs 16:3, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.” Truly, this achievement would not have been possible without Him.
I honestly don’t know where to
begin because up until now, it still hasn’t fully sunk in that we have successfully defended our research and are now moving on to 4th year. It was a tough battle, especially with limited time, but we pushed ourselves and worked hard to make it through.
Finally, we made it—research defended! The moment the results were about to be announced, we were extremely nervous because we were called one by one beforehand, which made us think we might have to defend again. Our professor even joked around, which made us even more anxious. But in the end, it all turned into an unforgettable and amazing experience—from self-doubt to success.
I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to our research adviser, Prof. Peteros, and his assistant, Dashel. Without their guidance, patience, and encouragement, we would not have achieved this milestone. At first, we doubted ourselves because the research design given to us was completely new, and we had little knowledge about it. But throughout the journey, they were always there to guide us. Their support truly inspired us to complete this study with dedication and excellence.
To my leader and groupmates, thank you so much. This success would not have been possible without your teamwork, cooperation, and shared ideas. Working with all of you made this research journey meaningful and fulfilling.
To our respondents, thank you for your time, cooperation, and valuable participation. Your contributions played a big role in the success and quality of our research.
And lastly, to my family—thank you for your unwavering support, encouragement, and belief in me. You gave me the strength to overcome every challenge along the way.
This journey was never easy, but every step was worth it. ✨
