We Felt, Moved, Hurt, Laughed, Spoke, we Fell, and we Rise! Thank you all for being a part of my world.

I really wanted to join this fellowship. I joined Amal Academy as a Career Prep- Fellowship three months ago. Finally, I almost completed Amal Career Prep Fellowship and I am very happy that I did it.

Dreams

I am an introvert, so meeting with strangers, chatting with them, and starting a conversation is not my thing. Here comes the day of the 1st session. I was a bit nervous. I was very nervous as I saw unfamiliar faces on my screen. But I remain positive and motivated for this learning experience. As I have just one thing in mind, “Don’t give up, the beginning is always the hardest, so let’s keep on going till the very end.”

Now, when this fellowship is entering into its last phase, I am writing this to just sit back and remember the fruitful moments from this fellowship. From the first day of this fellowship, the learning environment is something that attracted me to participate more and more. This fellowship helped me to come out of my comfort zone and be the best of myself. I learned about the ‘Amal Values’ for the first two weeks.
It was a great experience to learn about Amal Values. It provided us with a strong platform to work on.

Honesty: Just be honest with yourself that opens the door.
Responsibility: If you realize your responsibility you will realize your destiny.
Humility: It’s the greatest feeling ever to live a humble life.
Growth: It’s come only through continuous effort and struggle.
Acceptance: we cannot change anything unless we accept it.

Honesty

These Amal Values influenced me in this fellowship and outside of this fellowship. I try to implement these values from the day I learned about them. I try to be as honest as possible. For me, honesty is not just something about speaking the truth, but it is something that should be reflected in every act.

Responsibility

In simple words for me, Responsibility is something that you do the things that are said by you under the umbrella of moral ethics.

Humanity

I guess humility is the quality of being humble. Whenever you won as a team and you did most of the work you can show humility by giving credit to your team for the achievement.

Growth

Firstly, accepting your weaknesses then working on your weaknesses is the first sign of a growth mindset. A growth mindset can lead to professional success. This is something I try to apply to every step of this fellowship.

Acceptance

The last and most important Amal Value is ‘Acceptance’. For the learning environment to prevail acceptance of what others have to say is need of an hour. Try to listen to understand not to respond this is the main key.

Traveling

The Amal journey has taught me many things.

When it comes to goodbye, it’s very hard for me to let go. I have learned and enjoyed this fellowship that made me attached and nostalgic. We became an Amal family on this journey.
“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” Sir Winston Churchill

As we all know that nothing is permanent in this world, same as we all had to leave this journey.

Goodbye
