He decided that he would rewrite his entire thesis, aiming for perfection. He'd spent months working with the Professor. He spent weeks making notes. Now, with a renewed sense of purpose, he would show his appreciation by doing his best.

He thought, with an uplifting feeling that filled him, that the work would be a fitting testament to the Professor’s influence.
