Taking Flight
Every story has an end, but in life every end is a new beginning.
It’s Sunday 1 PM and our last fellowship session is about to start. Our session started with fellows sharing their fellowship experiences and how fellowship has improved them.
Then we were divided into two groups and we played the game ‘Scavenger Hunt’. Each group was given 30 riddles and they had to solve them in 20 minutes. In the end, the group with the most points will win. I was in Sir Saad’s team and we were able to win. I thought this game was for brainstorming, but I was wrong the game was for us fellows to connect better with each other.

After the game, our facilitators shared their feelings about the fellowship and the session ended with songs, thank you notes, and our graduation picture.
The fellowship was an amazing experience and I have learned a lot during those three months. I’ll be using what I've learned in the fellowship after the fellowships also. For example, In our mock interviews, the interviewer gave me some tips on how I can improve my answers and connect better with the interviewer. I’ve already started working on that feedback and will be using it whenever I have an interview.
I will also remain in touch with my fellows. I can do this by remaining active in the WhatsApp group and interacting with my fellows whenever I can by asking them questions or by answering their questions.
The fellowship has ended but it has changed me a lot. It’s the beginning of a new journey. I’ve become a lifelong learner and started working on my passion for Economic History which I hope is going to be an amazing journey. Thanks to Amal that I started working on that.
