Visualizing Your Experience 📸

Sunset are great reminders to rest and reset our hearts and minds at the end of each and every day. During the start of my fellowship I was hoping for a new sunrise. A new hope to learn and experience a lot of new things with continuous improvement.

A sunrise or a sunset can be ablaze with brilliance and arouse all the passion, all the yearning, in the soul of the beholder.’ Mary Balogh

Amal’s Journey:

In the beginning, I was accepted as one of the fellows in batch 167 after an intensive application process, I had no idea how much I would learn from my experience with the Amal Academy in the coming months. In the first weak of my journey, I realized that its the one of the best decision of my life to join Amal Fellowship. Half-way through my fellowship, the diverse people, motivational lectures, leadership training, and lessons in risk-taking and humbleness continue to inspire my journey at Amal. Let’s dive deep into what I have learned and experienced during my first two weeks at Amal Academy ❤

Values:

The values are the core things that are important in any culture, these are the set of beliefs that one holds to evaluate your life decisions. They play an important role in a person’s behavior or attitude that helps to determine the course of action. During the 1st week, the subject under discussion was Amal Values which were Honesty, Responsibility, Humility, Growth, and Acceptance. To make them a part of my life, I made a wallpaper and displayed it on my mobile screen. It reminds me that life becomes easier when you acknowledge and honor your values, they will still exist whether you recognize them or not. However, if you start including them in your decisions you’ll feel more content.

Discovery:

Self Discovery plays an important role in a person’s life as it helps you reflect on your life and experiences to help you determine your goals and aspirations. Whether you are seeking a professional career, an entrepreneurial venture, or academics, knowing yourself and your abilities will help you clarify the path you want to take in life. The TED talks on leadership and online leadership course help us to understand the concept in depth. The continuous appreciation which I received from my fellows regarding my time management and leadership skills kept me motivated throughout the whole fellowship to give my 100% as well.

The journey of Amal fellowship has given me lifelong memories. All of these things are very precious and I will try my best to accompany them throughout my life. In the end, I am very thankful to my Program Manager Mam Zeast Qurashi, Program Associate Mam Arooj, and my Amal fellows for this amazing journey. ❤
