My Amal Memories:
Becoming friends with the people you are meeting for the first time in your life is always very difficult. No matters if it is your first day at school, academy, job, or even this Amal Fellowship it is always hard. I was caught in the same situation on the very first day when we got divided into a group of 5 people and all of them were very new faces for me. Their names are:
- Gulzaib Rana
- Saman Shakeel
- Shahzaib Mughal
- Maham Ahsan
I had worked in teams/groups many times at my university and on my college level as well but here in this fellowship, the experience is totally different. I was standing up there with the same concept that we all are here for just 3 months and that is it! But here things were different, experiences were different because the mentality is different. I can assure you that I will never ever go to find a crew like them in my whole life ever again.
At first, it was a little difficult to go with the flow because you don’t know the people, the environment, and the rules and regulations of the organization. But as time went on I started loving this fellowship and my bonding with the fellows. Why will I not love this? All the fellows are always there for me when I need any help, solutions for any problem, and feedback for everything.
Along with these all fun activities, I learned a lot of new things that I never did in my whole life before and never thought of doing so. For example, making a piece of art which was Amal Values, and then recording a video. All that was fun and full of learning and this thing did not stop there but showed me the path to reflect on myself, my weaknesses, and strengths from a macro view which I never did before in my life. Also getting a lot of motivation from the movie scenes “The Pursuit of Happiness” was one of my favorite part of learning in this whole fellowship and getting know about the five main values of Amal which are Honesty, Acceptance, Growth, Humility, and Responsibility were the main keys and motivation toward this whole fellowship.
There are still a lot of things that I got aware of just because of this fellowship. The most important one is I came to know about myself, my future goals, my strengths, my weaknesses, and much more. This fellowship did not only make me capable of achieving my goals but how to be consistent in achieving new dreams.
This is an undefinable relation that just built up with the Amal family and I surely will get sad when this fellowship will end. And I just want to thank you Amal for giving me the sight to see the world.
