This was a phenomenal journey. The best decision of my life, that I enrolled in the Amal Career-Prep fellowship program. The skills I gained in these three months are much more than I have learned in these three years of my university.

I have never had this kind of experience before where I interacted and learned with people from different cultures and experiences along with immense positive energy.

This journey taught me a lot. I really love each and every part, starting with the knowing yourself activity and being able to live a life of purpose. I am much more self-aware and now I know what I have to do in the upcoming years, setting the goals and most importantly which keeps me motivated is the WHY behind these goals. This definitely transformed me into a super confident and independent individual.

I really admire all the values and principles of Amal and have tried my best to adopt them in my everyday life. Along with these, I learned to radiate positive energy in my daily life and having a growth mindset, and most of all, helping others and the teamwork by displaying the “aik or aik gyara” principle at Amal.

The incredible ‘Passenger series’ helped me regarding the superhero resume, cover letters, and most importantly how to ace an interview. It also helped me in boosting my communication, public speaking skills, and confidence through networking and reaching out to mentors.

The facilitators were very supportive. They motivated and guided me on being positive and on how to move forward in life. They provided me with realistic feedback that helped me improve my speaking as well as writing skills.

Apart from these, my leadership skills have improved a lot due to the opportunities given by Amal academy during the fellowship. Most importantly, the mega-project helped me recognize a lot of weaknesses and to work on them. To shine through what I have gained and apply the skills of public speaking and problem-solving. The learning group meetings along with the practical work towards project completion, definitely helped me to enhance my creativity, time management skills, and dealing with people and successfully meeting deadlines.

I believe that the mock interview and most importantly 1–1 session has a great impact on my life. It helped me share my experience and also I realized my shortcomings, and how to improve myself and proceed in life.

In conclusion, I really would thank Amal Academy for this wonderful journey that helped me transform into a positive thinker, a confident leader, a team player, and a proficient problem solver.
