Visualizing your experience

My Amal journey was amazing. The things that I learned in this fellowship are many, even if I want to count them I think I’ll be unable to do so. I learned how to explore myself, how to find my innate abilities, and how to know what I want to do in my future. I learned that wherever I’m now I was bound to be there, the things I found out of place were actually at the place. I look at my past with a keen eye to know what happens, why, and how.

At the start of this fellowship, the first and foremost thing that was a hurdle was my test. It was my first session and at the same time, I have to give a test so I have to attend the morning session. In the very first online course I was very enthusiastic about it and though nervous a bit because all these things were quite new for me. I commented on each part of the online course with full details and this thing was very captivating for me that I was expressing myself in a literal way. Then things became a bit difficult, now I have to work for multiple hours to complete the Project Work and Online courses, because my college started, and managing the time was a bit difficult for me.

I have a lot of work to do. Managing my college then Amal my home chores was a challenge for me. But there is one good thing about me is that when I’m committed to something I try my level best to complete it and see how it’s about to end.

Let me share with you some of my memories to visualize my Amal experience.

The first thing that reminds me of Amal is my laptop. I bought it, especially for attending Amal sessions. Whenever I see my laptop I remember how happy I was when my brother gave it to me and told me that it was for your online sessions. I’m a person who always remembers every memory.

I will never forget what I enjoyed a lot, and Amal is one of the things I enjoyed and learned a lot of things from it.

This is the picture that seems funny, I clicked it just after the day of my second session. The concept of “Knowing Yourself” was very inspiring for me. I came to know about myself and began to think about how things work and what is bound to happen will happen. It’s useless to brood over the past and always go on thinking about the future. The best option is to enjoy the present moment with zeal and enthusiasm. So I began to practice this concept and enjoyed movie day in my college a lot. Before this, I never enjoyed anything that much. So it was a great experience for me.

Whenever I pass through “Iqbal Stadium” I remember my second week at Amal when I have to reflect on some of the existing problems of my city and also have to highlight some positive aspects of my city as well. This was from positive things and daily I have to pass through this and remember my Amal experience.

Please ignore my writing but it was one of the best things I learned at Amal. Mind mapping and knowing why behind our actions. Whenever I look at this page of my register there is a smile on my face. Thank God I enrolled in Amal and was able to know my goals and desires.

Another positive impact of Amal. This is the book of Joseph Murphy on the topic of “The Power of your Subconscious Mind.” I started studying this book from the start of my fellowship to know the innate powers that lie within us. Until now I have read half of this book. I was not able to read it fully because of my busy schedule, but soon I’ll complete it for sure. Highly recommend this book to you, hope you will enjoy it.

The logo of Canva also reminds me of the start of my fellowship. I installed this app just to make some collages for my PW. But now it’s one of the best apps on my mobile. Not only Canva but some other apps like Google Docs, Keep Notes, and Grammarly also remind me about my fellowship journey. Now I use Canva for multiple purposes like making collages, making Instagram posts, making some charts, and writing letters in different styles. So these are some of my memories related to the Amal fellowship.

In the first 2 weeks of my Amal, I learned how to make a life map and for this, I need to look into my whole past life, hence it gives me an insight into my own life. I never thought about my past life in this way. Now I’m able to reflect on why and how I’m in this position, why am I doing a BS in English, what are the reasons for my failures, which things I’m good at, and what are my areas of weakness that need to be tackled and improved.

If I talk about the whole journey of Amal and what I have learned so far, let me tell you there are so many things as I mentioned before. Like mind mapping, knowing my Why’s, knowing my goals, establishing smart goals, identifying a problem and then suggesting some solutions for it also, knowing some issues that students and other community members face and thinking about how they could be tackled, and above all interview methods, how to dress for it, how to talk, how to respond, what to say, how to use excel and PowerPoint. All these things are just a few. I learned many other things also that maybe I’ll not be able to me toon but they exist. Thanks, Amal for making me “Real Me.”
