Project 1: Visualizing Your Experience

Amal 1st week learning group meeting

It was my 1st ever experience to attend online camera on videos. working in a Learning group in which Hamza is leading was just a learning experience. He usually helped us with all data what we all were going to share in meetings. In this group we discussed our WHY and then got feedback from fellows.

What was the experience like?

I joined amal because I was so afraid of attending sessions in which I also have to give my input. I was afraid of giving interviews. I was not able to make myself relax in front of interviewer panel. I really needed professional development so I had to look for Amal.

In our learning group meetings, all other members were seniors and I was not able to be a part of interactive conversation. So that was a time when I was a girl no one noticed.

What were your feelings about the journey at the start?

OK I joined Amal but I was not able to satisfy myself. I was confused whether Amal will develop me professionally or not. At that time, I was a pathetic person, no motivation to complete my engineering degree, no good spoken skills, no management skills, not able to focus on my studies, uncomfortable with my life. I just passed all steps with no motivation like whether I will get selected or not, does not matter.

After meeting with ma’m Nimra and sir Hamza, I got positive energy vibes. Also smiling face of sir Awais attracted me to attend online courses.

What were the things that you learnt in the first 2 weeks?

I learnt to just start with things you have. for example during 1st week I was asked to display Amal values. so I only had buttons and nail paints and I made beautiful display of amal values. I learnt to control my hesitation for making videos of your own. I learnt to work with case studies. I learnt about leadership and I firmly believed that you are a leader in your own way. I displayed my learnings for mega project by working alone in my area.

What did you discover about yourself in this journey?

I discovered to let out of your thoughts only in front of educated and matured people.

I made myself able to believe on the aspect that clarify your expectations in front of others.

I learnt to work with team and assign some tasks to yourselves to show leadership.

I learnt to work under stress and pressure. I have example of my vacations in September. I was in Islamabad and my whole family was there, but still I had to take all the work load of university under my supervision.

Now I believe on positive energy and I also believe to deliver positive vibes.

I learnt that only I’m in charge of how I feel today and I have the right to choose happiness and this state of mind gave me motivation to go through my pathetic and hectic routine life.

By future mail to yourselves, I’m so much excited to explore this year with all love and passion.

I changed my accent from negative to positive side.
