It was an awesome experience at AMAL and the train of this journey picked me up in March 2021. I was a passenger of one of its boxes named batch 186 with 50 more participants. These boxes were driven by Sir Ahmed Raza Mahmood and Mam Naqsh Nasir.

There were a lot of stations, incidents, and memorable platforms that made me think critically, professionally and make me able to have self-introspection. I am absolutely honored to share my experience that how AMAL not only changed my life but for me in my eternity. So, fasten your seat belt and let us take a flight of my experience on this journey sponsored by Stanford University.

Lessons from the last session

So, the end of the Amal pre-fellowship career made me downhearted when we had our last sessions. It was conducted on the 14th of June 2021 at 9: 15 PM. From the very beginning, I had emotional vibes in the session, but these were converted into happiness when we played a game that contained riddles. These riddles had guessed in them and we were asked to find an object, take a selfie, and upload it on the drive.

This was an amazing experience and it really made me feel connected with my mates. The answers, debating on an issue, and doing work quickly and properly made me feel blessed. I was observing that an episode of 03 months had passed and I could not count that this episode has ended up. The last moments helped me realize that a family is a family. Further, the passengers in the same box, mates, were also looking for the destination. The sympathy, win-win strategy, optimistic lens, and EK or EK 11 emphasized to carry them together.

Furthermore, we also have to share the stories that make us strong and help us stay determined in the future. In 2nd last session, I came to know that everyone has tensions, sorrows, and obstacles in life. They are so determined and courageous enough to face the bitter realities of life. This thing gave me a lesson that living life and showing gratitude is the best thing.

Further, these sessions helped me realize that my selected field BS English Literature is good and how to make it the best.

Keeping in touch with the Amal Family

We already have WhatsApp and Facebook groups where we update our posts. While living in the age of tech, social media we have the facilities to communicate with each other. Moreover, I have developed personal connections with them. Strong associations and recommendations of different mates for different jobs would make me stay in touch with them.
No doubt I would miss my fellows but I hope that I would meet them in the future whenever there would be a matter of professionalism.

I personally recommend, think, and suggest that if we are in connection with my mates, the doors of new opportunities will open. I would love to quote that

“keep going, keep growing stay in touch with the amal family forever for blessings” Muneeb Ahmad

Kind words for my professional mates

I learned the most dynamic experience, virtual learning, and relatable skills from my mates who were really experienced and talented. Their knowledge levels, mastered skills, polished communications skills, and quality leadership abilities made me realize that there are a lot of things to be done and gained as well. I would definitely apply them in the future for the sake of better results in the selected fields whether these are connected to my personal or professional hubs.

Words of Gratitude in the form of the final verdict

All in all, the credit goes to the respected, honorable, determined, passionate, and, of course, loyal mentors (PM, PA) who created a unique environment under the umbrella of AMAL academy and made it possible for grads to get the ultimate output as much as they could.

I will try to utilize my gains in the coming epochs for the betterment of myself, youth, society, nation, and the country as well. I congratulate everyone who was and is a member of AMAL Train.
