Educators are torchbearers, and our mission is to become “the light of the world” (Matthew 5:13). As a supervisor of an HKPFS awardee, the experience brings immense satisfaction as I witness her transformative scholarship. From writing proposals to delivering conference presentations, my student has crossed various thresholds, navigated different trials, and will become an expert in her academic field. My motto is that students must stand on—and also look beyond—the shoulders of giants. The goal is not to become an academic star who gets cited the most, but to be a beacon of light that can ignite change in the world.
