POSITIVE REFLECTION on the journey of AMAL ACADEMY

“Everything in your life is a reflection of a choice you have made. If you want a different result, make a different choice.”

WHY NOT ME?

The journey of Amal till now is the most wonderful experience in my life. I want to share my understanding so that my other fellows can also take benefit from this amazing opportunity. During this journey, I went through a lot of challenges and I learned a lot of things. This path seems to be very difficult in the starting but once I join then I can realize the true version of myself. There were many impactful events e.g Amal sessions, Group meetings, and mega projects discussions but the most impressive events are Amal Sessions. The sessions are so engaging that everyone can participate easily and share their thoughts, they have to give equal opportunities to give open feedback, and the environment during the session so friendly it seems like our mentors are like our friends and we can discuss everything regarding our career. I was impressed with the way of conducting online sessions because I never attend these types of interactive sessions before.
There are significant changes which I can see in myself before and after joining the Amal.
Before joining this fellowship I am an introvert person and I don’t have enough knowledge about professional growth, career, decision making power, problem-solving approach, leadership without authority and seek positivity in everything. But after joining this fellowship I can see a lot of changes in myself and the things that surround me as well. Showing gratitude and kindness to others gives me inner peace, and I can see its impact on my surroundings was remarkable. I started thinking about the purpose of my life and seeking the why behind everything I become more career-oriented and finds the true ways of professional growth.

This fellowship has uncountable positive impacts on my life. It completely changed my perception regarding dream successful life and self-discovery. It made me realized the importance of knowing your abilities. Some of the gifts, that I got from Amal Fellowship are:
Positivity: In the most recent online course, we learned about the 5 secrets of positive thinking that changed my thoughts entirely.
Coming out of My Comfort-Zone: Having an extra full-time activity either then my studies made me pushed out through my comfort zone and I starte’?d learning to manage many things at a time. And I realized that it is very important to move out of your comfort zone if you want to achieve your dreams in your life.
Professional Development: Learning some really important professional skills, gave me an insight into the important teachings, for example, leadership, teamwork, business writing skills, showing gratitude, and being positive.
Never Give up: The motivation to never stop and give up on your dreams is what I get through this fellowship journey. now I have learned that every failure leads you one step ahead towards success.

Now I am ready to fight

Sadly, this fellowship is ending in about 2 weeks, and I will be missing the weekend sessions, all the laughter, discussions, and all my fellows.
At the end, I would like to Thank Amal again for providing a platform for fresh graduates to learn important professional skills that are not taught in our educational institutes.
