Visualizing Your Experience of Amal Journey!

“The fellowship of true friends who can hear you out, share your joys, help carry your burdens, and correctly counsel you is priceless”

Ezra Taft Benson

My experience:

This blog is about recalling back to the Amal journey about 3 months ago. I have a lot of memories in my mind. All of our fellows have a golden opportunity to discuss our interests, experiences, communication skills and bring positive attention to each other. Everything was awesome. When I began to reflect on the fellowship. I learned how to be positive in life and it really worked on me. Amal helps me with my personal and professional development with very organized and engaging material with insightful activities.

I know we have the abilities, but the thing in life is the utilization of our abilities in the best way. Amal helped a lot with this. Look at me; now I feel much organized and confident while presenting my views. I was the kind of person who did not know how to communicate with strangers, but now I am very confident. I didn’t know what a professional resume looks like, but now I can make a superhero resume and superhero partner cover letter. I did not know about the cover letter before joining Amal.

Before This fellowship, I was not aware of how to make an elevator pitch, and even I Didn’t know about it, and I had too much fear to face the camera. this learning platform helps me to make great videos. I also learned how showing gratitude plays a crucial role in practical life.

I even did not realize how many beautiful-hearted people I got from this new path. Let’s went into depth that what I learned from the two weeks was Amal values that were Honesty, Responsibility, Growth, Humility, and Acceptance.

My Feelings

I have no words to explain my feelings. I just love these awesome memories we had in Amal with PM, PA, and the fellows. I don’t know if we will be able to connect or not after fellowship but it’s really a great experience to have an amazing and inspiring family with us.

Learnings in the First two weeks:

In the first two weeks of fellowship, I learned about purpose maps of life and when I saw the map of other fellows I learned a lot of things. I knew that everyone has difficulties in life and we should not give up at any stage of life. Always face the sad moments of life with happy faces. First time in life I knew how to write a blog even before this fellowship I was not familiar with. In my first blog that was about 5 acts of kindness learned how to show gratitude and humility can change our life and we feel inner happiness by doing this on a daily basis.

Discover yourself:

This fellowship has a very positive impact on my life. It has changed my fixed mindset to a growth mindset, supporting me to refine my personal and professional goals. And all these things helped me to find the right track for my career.

Thanks to Amal

At the end of this beautiful journey, I would like to Thank the Amal team and my facilitators Mam Naqsh and Sir Anas for your love, care, and support for everything. I wish may Allah bless you both and the whole Amal team. Keep smiling always. Ameen.
