Amal Career prep fellowship

A Stanford University and PepsiCo supported a 3-month online program to develop professional skills needed for a successful career and life.

The whole journey of the Amal fellowship taught me a lot and I am grateful to be a part of this fellowship and the event that had a more profound impact on me was the interview preparation and delivering part using all the skills.

What about this incident made you think about yourself and the way you see things around you?

The whole interview series and the mock interview made the greatest impact on the way I started thinking now and the concluded thing that impacts me was self-confidence and like positivity is a habit there is no external factor that makes you think positive but you only can do it through developing it by yourself and same goes for me in case of self-confidence and believe, during the process of the interview it was the profound effect of the overall process.

Later it let me think about what actually self believe is and how we can develop it and when I started thinking about it I got to know that it is a process of developing a habit that you can do anything if you believe in yourself and looking adversity as an opportunity and thinking in a way that the challenges that come along any task are part of the process, all you have to do is believe in yourself that can make you stronger and positive.

And I started seeing things around me from a positive point of view and to be more grateful and facing any challenge as an opportunity for me and to look at the solution rather than wasting time worrying about the problem. And to believe in me as it is a decision, not something out of control, and little by little to nurture this habit. Also, this habit makes me think more positively and going the extra mile in my self-realization, and learning new things day by day.

How much of this realization was the result of the way the other people/person around you acted and exhibited their energy?

And it happens due to some legends around me (my co-facilitator at Amal academy and other people around me) who realized the importance of self-belief through their actions that it is the only way to move on the path of success and keep growing.

Looking back, how do you think you would do things differently?

If I look back at the whole scenario, I believe I can do more better in the future and taking adversity as an opportunity and with self, belief can grow more and never stop self-believing unless the dream is meaningless.
