Visualizing experience at Amal Academy
We Felt, we Moved, we Hurt, we Laughed, we Spoke, we Fell, and we Rise!
Thank you all for being a part of my world.
Just like every other good thing out there, our journey with Amal Academy is nearing its end. In fact, it is the last week of our fellowship and the second-last project work. We were assigned plenty of thought-provoking tasks throughout the fellowship, which forced us to think on a deeper level. Similarly, today’s blog is about yet another reflection. But this time we have to picture it too.
I am an introvert, so meeting with strangers, chatting with them, and starting a conversation is not my thing. Here comes the day of the 1st session. I was a bit nervous. I was very nervous as I saw unfamiliar faces on my screen. But I remain positive and motivated for this learning experience. As I have just one thing in mind, “Don’t give up, the beginning is always the hardest, so let’s keep on going till the very end.”
Now, when this fellowship is entering into its last phase, I am writing this to just sit back and remember the fruitful moments from this fellowship. From the first day of this fellowship, the learning environment is something that attracted me to participate more and more. This fellowship helped me to come out of the comfort zone and be the best of myself. For the first two weeks, I learned about the ‘Amal Values’.
Honesty: Just be honest with yourself that opens the door.
Responsibility: If you realize your responsibility you will realise your destiny.
Humility: It’s the greatest feeling ever to live a humble life.
Growth: It’s come only through continuous effort and struggle.
Acceptance: we cannot change any thing unless we accept it.
These Amal Values influenced me not just in this fellowship but also outside of this fellowship. I try to implement these values from the day I learned about them. I try to be as honest as possible. For me, honesty is not just something about speaking the truth, but it is something that should be reflected in every act.
In simple words for me, Responsibility is something that you do the things that are said by you under the umbrella of moral ethics.
I guess humility is the quality of being humble. Whenever you won as a team and you did most of the work you can show humility by giving credit to your team for the achievement.
Firstly, accepting your weaknesses then working on your weaknesses is the first sign of a growth mindset. A growth mindset can lead to professional success. This is something I try to apply to every step of this fellowship.
The last and most important Amal Value is ‘Acceptance’. For the learning environment to prevail acceptance of what others have to say is need of an hour. Try to listen to understand not to respond this is the main key.
The Amal journey has taught me many things.
When it comes to goodbye, it’s very hard for me to let go. I have learned and enjoyed this fellowship that made me attached and nostalgic. We became a amal family in this journey.
“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” Sir Winston Churchill
As we all know that nothing is permanent in this world, same as we all had to leave this journey.
