“Life is all about choices. On every journey you take, you face choices. At every fork in the road you make a choice. And it is those decisions that shape our lives.”
My Amal journey is one of those choices that I made and it changed my life. The moment I joined Amal I was an introverted sort of person but Amal gave me a platform where I can speak my heart out. From very first session till the date it has been an amazing journey.
I have a lot of memories with Amal family that I would cherish forever. From break out room activities to the theme days and from circle group meetings to the project works, every stop of this journey was worth it. From sharing my life map to exploring my goals Amal has helped in recognizing what I am? Amal has actually helped me shaping my life through its golden principles of:
- Amal
- Khudi
- kam kam kam
- Ek or Ek gyara
Everything at Amal, weather its live interactive sessions, online courses, insightful reflective question or its mock interviews or alumni talks always left me wondering how lucky I am to be the part of this family. It encouraged me to do what I had never done before including video making and blog writing.
What has impacted me most?
The most insightful moment during the fellowship was when we moved out to collect donations for our mega project. It was a whole new thing for me and me realize the importance of volunteer work. It is very difficult to come out of your comfort zone and beg for others but it always gives you a sense of achievement being the reason behind smile of other people. We visited different organization and asked for donations and it left a positive impact for me. It was all due to encouragement of my team mated and other fellows that pushed me to go extra mile to achieve some thing..
How Could I Do Things Differently?
Being an Amal fellow I have improved a lot. It has provided me with extra mile skills while working in team that had helped me in growing personally and professionally. Our facilitators were so amazing persons, they had encouraged us at every step and enlightened us with their insightful thoughts. It was the best platform to prepare myself for the professional field. I must say that without joining Amal I could have not been the same.
Thank you Note!
I can confidently say this was my best decision to be here and would like to say thanks to my team mates and fellows for making me come up with my best skills. Thanks to my mentors Sir Ahmed and Ma’am Qurat for being such great helping hands throughout the fellowship. And the last but not the least, Benji Williams and Kunal Chawla for putting their efforts in providing us with this platform where we can learn and grow together.
“Don’t cry because its over, Smile because it happened.”
