Taking flight 🛫
Lesson from the Last session at Amal Academy
I am writing this blog to highlight the memories and experiences, I gained from my last session at Amal Academy.
Amal Academy is a Stanford University-funded project that helps young people in Pakistan develop the technical skills needed to achieve their career dreams. After a strong analysis, a telephone interview, and a selection process involving a job center and a management class, I was selected as one of the nominees in batch 209. I had no idea how much I would learn from my experience with this platform in the coming months. Because there was a lockdown in the world and everyone was looking at the online system. At first, I thought it would probably be similar to other online programs where students did notf show seriousness, but when I joined it was surprisingly different from other online courses and programs.
It helps students get out of their comfort zone and do their best. Walking in the amidst of my relationships, inspiring speeches, leadership training, time management strategies, and lessons in taking risks and humility continue to inspire my journey to Amal.
This encounter was so incredible and life-changing, I was the kind of person who was shy and inviting presentations and in Amal, meeting different people encourage was beautiful and purposeful, we all inspire, uplift and unforgettable had great fun with each other. It would very long story if I started sharing all the memories I had in Amal, so let’s move on to our last session, which was called Taking a Flight.

Batch 209 Amal Academy:
Now I would like to describe my last session in Amal, On the 16th of October I was emotional and my heart was beating that today is my last time in Amal.
When I woke up in the morning and looked at my cell phone there was a message from a colleague that today is our last time and we decided to do something different for our grateful counselors by making this thank you card for my Amal advisors.
This was an amazing activity.
The Life Lessons I learnt from this activity was Kam Kam Kam, Aik Aur Aik gyarah, Time Management, and Uplifting your fellows to achieve a certain target.
Now I am more Excited for the Life Journey and for the Destination by taking these learnings and Memories with me.
Now it’s time to say goodbye to this unique Amal family but we will get in contact by different social media platforms.This is the final boarding call. “Thank you.” It’s time for exchanging Contacts information,wishing the best of luck for future endeavors, and made promises to never be a part. Let’s Go!
“Let your dreams take flight”
