“A little step may be the beginning of a great Journey”

So this week will be the last week for the fellowship, and this three months long fellowship has a great impact on my thoughts. What if I didn’t apply for the fellowship? I would probably be stuck in the routine work that I was before the fellowship. In short; the clicking of the little submit button of the fellowship application form brought me on a way to a great journey.

Let’s look back to the aspirations that I had two months ago before the fellowship.

The same was my condition two months ago tired of University’s assignment, quizzes and lectures. Also waiting for midterm exams with null preparation. I was just getting bored with this hectic routine.

Then I applied for Amal Academy with the hope to get rid of some time from daily chores of routine.

I found Amal Fellowship a way to think outside of a box of academic studies.

The motivation that helps me in tough times

When I was in the first two weeks at Amal Academy, it was sparking curiosity for fellowship. Before the first-ever session, I was unclear in my expectations from Amal Academy. I just knew a bit about the concepts of Teamwork, Leadership, Problem-solving, Career Planning, etc. I wanted to develop these skills, and this is what I had told the person who took my Fellowship’s Interview.

After attending the first session, the charismatic personalities of PM & APM fascinated me. I love how they make the sessions interactive and engaging for everyone. The sessions of the first week boosted my interest in self-grooming. I started taking online courses, which further opened the way to self-exploring.

Wake up every day, with purpose, with goals, with intention to be better

The first two weeks made me think about the purpose of my actions. It was a time when I learned about how to plan goals with the help of SMART goals. But planning is not the only thing, we also need to take initiative for this journey. As someone said,

“The journey of thousand miles begins with one step.”

Amal Academy has brought many positive changes to my life. It helps me to reshape my concepts about learning. Life is a circle the end of one journey is the start of another one. So, this is the time of tightening of seat belts and getting ready for another step. But the memories of Fellowship will remain with me.

At the END, Journey finishes, but memories remain.
