Visualizing The Experience:

Everyone experiences the first two weeks of Amal Academy differently. Some fellows dip a cautious toe in, some taking their time to explore this new journey and some were excited and apprehension. While I was excited and afraid at the same time because this journey made me realize and I was wondering how to manage my university classes, my job, and this fellowship simultaneously.

From awkward encounters, intense project works, and myriad courses all pass by. My first-week experience was rough at the time but later it was amusing in hindsight. The interaction goes well with Course facilitators and other fellows.

So here is my happy place from where I first started my journey of this fellowship. This is the place that reminds me of the work I used to do assigned by Course Facilitators.

The place from where I started my journey.

As the days rolled on, however, I began to feel more comfortable with this place. Most of the time I used to spend sitting over here, doing my project works, meetings, university assignments, and even my lunch and dinner. This place starts giving me peace and calmness. I don’t know what kind of feeling is that but whenever I found myself low I just go to that place and it gives me a kind of relaxation.

Recent Picture of my happy place.

One thing that gave me a sense of relief is that particular place. Recently when I was reading my fellow’s blog, a thing pops up in my mind that is “This place become my Best friend” I never thought that the place could be a best friend but yes for me this place become my Best Friend, who is there in my hard time, when I was struggling with the load of my work. This place never leaves me alone. In this journey, I found that you can get attached to the things that give you a better place to rise and think. A place where you find your own space of happiness. ❤

Thank you, My happy place!

For always be there to give me strength and comfort.
