Positive Reflection

The journey with the Amal family has been outstanding. It is such a platform where you learn, do activities, laugh, have fun and also perform. Throughout the session I have had many positive and energetic moments.

I would like to share one of those moments when I really felt that all my efforts that I have been putting in the fellowship bear fruit. This moment is indirectly related to the fellowship. If I did not have the experience of doing fellowship. I might be a different person.

Two weeks ago, our 7th semester started and we were asked to submit the name of supervisors according to our preference. Suddenly , the very first name that just pooped out into my mind was of our head of department, Dr. Riyaz Ahmad.

But I was so confused that why would he pick me from the rest of people who have even more CGPA than mine even if it’s not about CGPA. The reason is, we never had a one on one conversation with DR. Riyaz.

So, what I did was, after thinking about it for 2 days. I sent him an email “PROPOSAL FOR THESIS ””. I applied all those things that I had learned during the PASSENGER SERIES.

Finally, by next evening I received an Email from Dr Riyaz. He welcomed me and also explained about his job and told me the topic that I have to work on. I was extremely happy. And it was my moment, I was very overwhelmed about receiving email and also about fellowship.

That moment, I felt like I had achieved my purpose of joining Amal because these were the things that I wanted to work on and finally got their result also.

Now I’m a different person with problem solving techniques rather than panicking. A girl who is patient and can listen and understand others’ narrative. A girl who believes in positivity, dedication, and hard work.

I do remember this line from the course:

YOU CAN’T WIN, IF YOU DON’T PLAY.

My proposal for thesis along with his response.
