Yao Zhang - Family

Family is a fundamental part of both personal life and academic development. Personally, a family provides love, support, and security, helping individuals navigate life's challenges. Parents, siblings, and extended family often play vital roles in shaping values, behaviors, and emotional well-being. In an academic context, the term academic family refers to the network of mentors, peers, and colleagues who support intellectual growth and professional development. Academic families foster collaboration, innovation, and learning. Both personal and academic families are essential for a balanced and fulfilling life, offering both emotional and intellectual sustenance.
