Taking Flight
“Life is a circle. The end of one journey is the beginning of the next.”
A beautiful journey ended and its last session was so amazing a kind of summary of whole the journey and it was more likely talking about life and happiness. During this whole journey, the things we have learned are going to be us throughout our life.
We humans of Batch-165 are not mere fellows, we are family and we share a strong bond of love, care, empathy, gratitude, and compassion.
“To live the greatest number of good hours is wisdom.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am grateful that I utilized my time in a productive way. It wasn’t an easy path but I am ecstatic that I made it through it. I learned a lot from my fellows and due to them, I came to know about my few abilities that I wasn’t able to identify within myself.
Sometimes, it is good to verbalize about stuff, you are hesitant to admit or share, it is good to know each other, it is good to connect with each other by playing some simple games, it is good to auricularly discern someone out and this is what we have done in our last session.
How to remain in contact after the fellowship?
That question rises in my mind whenever I think about the journey till now we have, teamwork, empathy, and gratitude. Are we going to forget all the things we did in our sessions, in our circles? No, we are a family and we will be and will be helping each other in our future endeavors. I want to stay connected to my Amal family, which I will in sha Allah. We are now Amal Alumni. We may meet and greet, share our progress in the group. We may ask for suggestions and share life’s takeaways.
To remain in contact with circle members I will be working on our Mega Project and we as a team will be making it sustainable and we will grow through teamwork and by remaining in contact with each other.
Goodbyes are never so good especially when you have some gems to count on. Now, it’s the final week of Amal and I can not describe my feelings for my lovely fellows. How helping, motivating, and encouraging fellows I got. We genuinely care for each other. We have grown together and worked as a team.
“Every ending is a new beginning”
It is the end of a journey and the beginning of another. All the soft and technical skills, values, principles, empathy, gratitude, kindness, success, I have learned so far will be implementing throughout my life. Now I feel myself a different individual with more clear goals and interests and how I’m going to achieve them.
To conclude I learned about my road maps, knowing my “Why’s”, purpose map, accomplishments, strengths and weakness, smart goals, and most of all our values and principles during this fellowship.
All these activities made me realize that what I should pursue next and how I can define the designation of my life. I feel myself an incipient individual now and I’m grateful to Amal for making me realize my worth. I am surely gonna miss all the weekend sessions, my fellow, all the energy, and most of all my cognition experience.
Every part of Amal was new for me and memories will stay with me to remind me of the time well spent. I would love to have a lifetime fellowship if possible since I loved it that much and the idea that its ending makes me sad. I would like to dedicate a few lines to my whole batch:
Goodbyes are not forever,
Goodbyes are not the end.
They simply mean that we will miss you
until we meet again
