I wish to express my sincerest gratitude to you for introducing me to the world of salutogenic design. This concept became not just the foundation of my research, but also a significant part of my life philosophy. Your patient explanations and willingness to share your vast knowledge not only shaped my academic understanding, but also my perspective on children's health and well-being in learning environments.

Your unwavering support and encouragement throughout my PhD journey have been nothing short of a blessing. Today, as I officially bear the title of 'Dr.', I recognize that this achievement is not solely mine. It is a testament to the collective efforts, encouragement, and guidance of mentors like you.
