“Self-reflection entails asking yourself questions about your values, assessing your strengths and failures, thinking about your perceptions and interactions with others, and imagining where you want to take your life in the future.” -Robert L. Rosen

Amal Fellowship plays a vital role in changing my direction of life and upgrading my abilities and skills. It helped me from discovering my approach to executing it for the new beginning.

Back in February 2021, I decided to apply for Amal and was so focused and motivated for it because I had seen my seniors and class fellows from previous batches of Amal having a positive change in mindset and growth, which really motivated me to apply for it. 11 weeks till now, 10 PWs, 20 Online courses, Infinite activities, the journey had really been amazing. If I see myself back in late march from now and compare, I see a really big and constructive change in my life.

During this Fellowship, I had really great memories from learning different techniques, From which time management, especially the Pomodoro technique really helped in completing the task without procrastination and was the most effective one for me. Other than that leadership skills, communication skills, resume and cover letter writing, passenger series with a huge help to learn about the interview process, and much more, all these combine to a wholesome package of a growth mindset.

Apart from this, The Mega Project was also a great learning experience in working as a team and completing the assigned part, form-finding the products for our brand to making logos and posters for social media accounts, all these sums as an enriching experience.

The weekend sessions were also really an energetic kick start of the day. Having such fun activities during the session as learning by reviewing and reflecting on the online courses, activities in breakout rooms. From taking creative group pictures to playing games at the end of the session to celebrating Birthday :). Applause to Ma’am Uswah and Ma’am Ayesha for having great energy each day and facilitating the whole journey effectively.

This Amal fellowship was quite a great experience and really an escape in this boring lockdown with all these online sessions and fun activities. I have learned a lot and feel really a positive change in myself. I learned to have consistency in work rather, having a busy schedule. Kudos to all my fellow fellows for interacting and building such a great time together. May we all get to succeed with our future goals (Ameen).
