‘’Life becomes more meaningful when you realize the simple fact that you’ll never get the same moment twice.’’

My journey started three months ago with Amal family where i learned about how i could grow as a professional but there was another important thing i learned which was new and unique in its form and nature, it was building relationship with people virtually. We connected through online meetings, solved problem and got to know about each other but I never felt that they were unfamiliar. It is said ‘’ In general, people are not drawn towards perfection in others. People are drawn to shared interests, shared problems, and individual life’s energy. Humans connect with humans.’’ — Robert Glover

During my second last session from three months long fellowship. We all were downhearted but the session lifted us up because it was full of fun and ever cherishing memories. We all talked and connected with each other through remembering memories of the fellowship. We had some in depth suggestion on “ if you had” questions. We enjoyed scavenger hunt activity where we solved riddles and find the things and took pictures which would always remind me of that fun activity.

“ Enjoy the little things in life for one day, you’ll look back and realize that they were big things.”

The whole journey and experience would be worthless if i didn’t have amazing facilitators who were perfect at their job and aim oriented fellows. A cake without right ingredients could never be perfect same as without right fellows and facilitators this journey would be vague and soulless. I learned a lot from all fellows who were from all different walks of life but we all genuinely built a network of sincerity and trust , we all cared and shared knowledge, concepts and ideas in order to help one another. They will remain my most trust able network with which i will seek for help and advice.

In the end all the learning and concepts has made me a new and better version of myself. But I will not stop here I will keep on learning, exploring and improving myself I order to become lifelong learned. For this realization and awareness all the credit goes to Amal Academy.

“ At times, our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” — Albert Schweitzer
