Lessons from the Last Lesson: Taking Flight
“It’s a way of saying, “thank you, I’ll be ok, and you’ll be ok.” Your words may be a critical gift of peace to someone who is worrying if you can handle their leaving.”
Life is a long journey, in this journey we met to different people, who left us with sweet memories when their station comes. Sometimes words ain’t enough, It is difficult to sum up the story of love and affection in a few words. These are feelings that everyone can feel but can’t express. The story of Amal fellowship and batch-171 is one of those love stories.
Our last online session ( Amal Career-Prep Fellowship) happened last Sunday, almost one week before from now. And I still feel that my mind has stuck there in the last session. In the first month, It was a bit hard to carry on the fellowship throughout the three months spending almost 14 hours per week. Time flew and connections grew and now that I never wanted it to end. The last session was full of emotions and feelings, words are useless to describe our emotions.
In the last three months, Amal taught us skills that are essential for our professional life as well as those learnings and ethics which are mandatory to spend our every day such as secrets to intrinsic happiness, power of practicing gratitude, and the purpose of the last session of keeping work/life balance and I learned that talking for some time other than work and projects in our daily routine can restore our energy and spirit of working.
“Leaving is sometimes tearful, sad and heart-wrenching even but I smile because I know you are forever mine and distance would never change that.”
Conversations and actions can make a huge difference. Staying connected and talking to each other is a small action, but it does have an impact, because you know what happens when you say ‘hello’ or ‘good morning?’ You make a connection. And isn’t that what being human is all about? I will always try to show that humanity with my fellows and teachers to stay connected with them through calls, messages, social media and at various get together. Intentions behind this always to keep that relation alive as much as I can.
The last session was all about celebrating your success after the hard work i-e finishing mega-projects and giving our final presentations. Amal has taught me about time management. I will continue this balance in my life by accepting challenges as opportunities and enjoy them with the mindset that it will definitely result in something good, even it was bad then I must learn something from this experience too.
Teamwork to Dream work, came to me after I completed my mega project. Amal Fellowship and Batch — 171 love and affection have been instrumental in changing my personal and professional life, helping me to recognize my own potential.
It is not the END, it is the start of the new journey and new phase of life.
