I was writing the "Acknowledgements" part of my dissertation. I must submit the draft to the committee by tomorrow. How do you think the following paragraph in terms of wording and grammar? "First of all, I would like to thank my advisor, Professor XXXX, for his guidance, support and encouragement. He has always been inspiring and thoughtful in science, patient and progressive as a mentor, caring and considerate as a friend, and ultimately influential as a role model of an all-around human being." Obviously I am not a native English speaker, Thanks to all who put up your thoughts and suggestions!
"First of all, I would like to thank my advisor, Professor XXXX, for his guidance, support and encouragement. He has always been inspiring and thoughtful in science, patient and progressive as a mentor, as well as caring and considerate as a friend." Good luck. That's how I would edit what you showed me.
Thank you Deckard! It's not that I want to pile up sweet words, but my advisor has truly been a role-model for me, in many different aspects. How do I express this?
