An uplifting Conversation

Ever since my Amal Journey began it has been a ride full of joy and positivity. I joined Amal Academy Fellowship as a clueless fellow who had no idea what the future beheld. But as time passed, I experienced the best moments of my life with my fellows and mentors. These incidents included our weekly sessions filled with amazing conversations and lessons, our tea parties, our mid-week positivity boosters like desert days and the circle meetings where we interacted closely with our fellows and got to know their inspiring stories.

Some snippets from these events are as under.

Our Desert and Tea parties

The event that had the most profound impact on me was my One-on-One session with my Program Manager Ma’am Tayyaba where we had a heart-to-heart conversation. I have always been inspired by her and the way she conducts herself, but after my conversation with her where I told her about what holds me back, she motivated me to overcome all my fears and do not seek external validations. As she understands the dynamics of our society, it was easier for me to convey her my circumstances and she understood everything very well and mentored me in accordance with it.

I believe that at this tender age of uncertainty one needs to have a mentor who has experienced life in a way that they can guide others too. My guide was Ma’am Tayyaba and with her inspiring presence in mind, I was able to ace an interview. I am grateful for this opportunity that Amal Academy provided me with. No doubt it has proved to be an important milestone on my road to self-development.
