I have successfully completed 3 months of tremendous journey of Amal Fellowship. This time was the best time of my life, full of learning, meeting new people from different areas, making friends and full of fun. This fellowship have developed personal and professional skills in me, my silent, confused self is now gone, if I see myself 3 months before I was so irresponsible, confused and always afraid of taking risks. I’ve groomed a lot through AMAL.

Now its time to take a flight from Amal fellowship and land into the real World to apply all these learnings of 3 months.

Last Sunday on 18 October, 2020 was the official last session of our batch, it was full of mixture of emotions, we were happy, sad and having fun at the same time. Happy for making such a great beautiful, strong family within just 3 months, sad for fellowship ending and having fun because we all were there together in a session. No one was in the mood to leave the session even after 1 hour of session time.

Last session, was also full of learning, a question was asked How will you define yourself? Who is Fatima? Fatima is? This question made me think about myself, it looks like an easy question but for that given 1 minute I was totally lost in myself finding answer, I heard a lot of compliments and comments about me from people but for me what Am I? I never thought about that. In session, I came up with just 2 words “polite and untidy” but after session when I reflected back and thought about this question I found out, for me I am totally opposite to what people think about me, I’m “Demon for some but angel for other”.

last session, scavenger hunt 💜

Scavenger Hunt was the favorite part from last session , we were playing that like a game but actually we were experiencing and applying many learnings in that game, teamwork, leadership, time management, we applied all these learnings while having fun, I really loved that activity the most in all sessions even though our team lost :P but still that game was full of fun and learning. That defeat was actually a lesson as well…

Our beautiful Amal Family, different people, different minds, belonged from different areas, never met them in person but still they all are close like a family, I am so blessed and happy to have them. 😇💜

Amal Fellowship ended but I got a beautiful, supportive Amal Family through this fellowship. I will for sure miss the sessions, but will stay connected with this precious family and will never forget joining Amal, everyday using Pomodoro technique, positivity in disturbed situation, appreciating others, taking risks etc. my daily arrangement of tasks according to Amal learnings will never make me forget Amal Fellowship.

That last song, we sang together, will never forget that 🤣

Amal Family 💜
