“If you’re brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello.” Paulo Coelho

Beautiful journey of Amal-Fellowship ended this Sunday. Now, if I look back on three months, it is like they flew away. Time has passed very quickly but gifted me very beautiful memories, friends, teammates and facilitators. I have learned a lot from this fellowship. During this fellowship, we had many courses that are helping us and will help to be a humble, respectful and a professional person. We had many assignments, megaprojects, and online sessions. This fellowship was a great chance for every fellow to experience little things that we ignore in our daily lives like reflecting our day, showing gratitude to people around us. The fellowship has ended but it’s the start of next chapter. It is the start of finding new learning and skills for our professional life. It is the start of practicing these three months learning practically in life.

“A new day, a new life, a new hope, a new way to deal with problems.”

The last session was the most memorable and amazing among all. We did not turn on our videos for ten minutes and then we all turned on it at once with charts in our hands which was to say thanks to our amazing facilitators. It was very heartwarming to say thanks to the facilitators “Ma’am Huda & Sir Hamza” who played a major role in successful completion of this fellowship, who helped us every single time we asked for help. It was an amazing moment to see a big smile on the faces of our facilitators.

A little surprise for facilitators
Thanks to bnta he

The start was so beautiful and the rest of the session too. We played a game called “Scavenger Hunt”. We were divided into two teams where we had to solve riddles and take pictures with objects. It was a fun activity but in actuality, it was a test of our learnings from fellowship. I was a part of team A and had very understanding and hardworking individuals beside me. To win the game, we had to bring all fellows on the same page and here strong communication played an important role. Then all fellows played their parts in planning and organizing the flow, leadership, effective time management, problem solving, and last and top of all teamwork. All these helped us and led us to victory.

During the fellowship, we learned a lot of things that will help us to be a professional person as well as a good human being. A person who can feel the pain of others, listen to them and can uplift and support them in hard times. In the session, we all shared our stories which showed our struggles and hard work to achieve something. Some of them were very emotional but some of them taught me a good lesson. The most important lesson I learned was to never give up on your dreams. My fellows always supported and motivated each other in all circumstances. They are the best people I have ever met in my life. Thank you my beloved fellows for always supporting and motivating me. Especially Alishba Nasir & Hamza Munawar.

Thank you my friends

This session left a great impact on me and I learned a lot from this session. One thing was to never ever give up. I was always afraid of speaking in public but this fellowship gifted me confidence and skills to speak without fear and taught me that magic happens when you move out of your comfort zone.

I am really grateful and thankful to AMAL ACADEMY for providing me this beautiful opportunity of fellowship where anyone regardless of anything can learn a lot. A big big thanks for Amal Academy.

End of beautiful journey

Amal had taught me another good lesson;

“If you don’t fall, you can not learn to walk”
