Sometimes “good bye” are the hardest thing that people might experience in their lives and I believe they truly are. My journey at Amal Academy is the same and saying bye to my fellows was the hardest part of it. It all started suddenly, I guess we people are so uncertain so I’m, when I joined Amal I was an introvert person who don’t like people, avoid them and make werid faces when I had to talked to them However Amal has changed this thing in me. There was a time when I had to introduced myself to my fellows I was acting so werid and make a formal introduction so that I won’t had to talk to someone and during the second last session it was the same me who was discussing her personal experiences with them. It was an amazing day and session aswell. Althought we all were missing Ma’am Mishaal However Sir Usman made it amazing in his own way. That day we were connected in a very strange way we just talk and connect. Shared our life experiences, our life stories that made it a Heart-to-Heart connection and I believe that connection will not gonna end anyway. On that day we sang different songs obviously the saddest one because we were emotional but when we decided to stay connected through different media which includes Whatsapp, facebook etc it gave us a hope and filled our heart with more emotions as we will stay connected even that connection will not the same as we had Amal (everyday connection) but atleast we could be able to see each other and to motivate each other to help them grow.

Amal fellowship was a great experience I have had learnt alot. I would love to follow Amal principles of progress mainly on Khudi and Kam, kam aur kam. They helped me alot during the fellowship and I believe that they are going to help me throughout my life. Moreover, the most useful thing that helped me alot during fellowship and even in personal life was Eisenhower matrix and it is still helping me I am going to use it for the rest of my life. I was not a consistent person and mostly faced the time management issues but it’s Eisenhower matix that made me a good time and task manager person. And how could I forget about the Promodoro tecnique? I must say I am going to stuck on it throughout my life.

In the end, I would like to Thank Amal Academy for making me what I am today. This all is just because of them that I have seen a better version of myself. Thankyou Benje for giving us This AMAL!
