There can be a simple way to express your ideas like write them out and share them with the world. Let me ask you a question, is this enough to impress the world about your ideas and its impact? Is there any idea which will help us to enhance our visual and sighting? Can pictures help us to deliver our message in a greater and relevant aspect?

So the answer is yes. Yes, you can use the methods which will create long-lasting impacts on people to remember you. You can enhance the impact of your project by enhancing its visualization. Let move towards our today’s main agenda.

There at Amal Academy, I’ve assigned a task related to visualizing my experience with the relevant pictures along with my reflections. Here, I’m going to share some pictures which were close to my heart when it was my first week at the Amal Academy.

1. Life map:

What was the experience like?

I still remember about my life map which I’ve made. This was an amazing experience. There is a reason why I found this so appreciated to share this because I really had no idea about these concepts. I didn’t know that I’ve such an accomplishment and achievements with me and I didn’t realize that.

After joining Amal, as I asked to make this I completed it with great effort because I didn’t know how to remember those points and then write them out. Overall the experience was really amazing. I still remember how I draw it and write about my life activities.

What were your feelings about the journey at the start?

At the start I was very confused about what will go to happen in the next 3 months and how will I manage this? This seemed difficult to handle all this with my other activities like university and hope chores. But this was also looking more easy and fantastic because I was very excited and passionate to learn something new and different.

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

During the first two weeks, I’ve learned many new things that I didn’t know first. I learned about Amal Values and Principles. I’ve gained new and valuable information regarding Edhi Sb. This was a very unique experience that has diminished my fear and confusion. I’ve learned about the concept of energy and knowledge about the ways that how can I radiate my positive energy. This energy was transferred into me from my facilitators, Mam Namra and Sir Ghazi.

What did you discover about yourself in this journey?

At first, I didn’t’ know what to do and how to do but with the passage of time as things went around and I get familiar with them I started to embrace them, I started to appreciate them, and start to work on them. The things that I discovered about myself was, I started to know about myself, I started to focus on positive things, and started to keep myself away from the negativities. I discovered a new person inside me who likes to talk, how likes to express. In a simple context, this has helped me a lot to discover the whole new person inside me.

2. Gratitude Cards and letters:

Now, let’s talk about one of the greatest experiences. This was the best experience of my life. How? Let’s talk about it.

What was the experience like?

The experience was quite a unique experience that I’ve acquired. People always used to say that we cannot touch emotions or we can only touch material things. There was both in one form. This experience includes was tangible and non-tangible, both material and non-material aspects. I could touch the letter and I could feel the feeling of gratitude inside me. This was a huge accomplishment for me to learn about such a greater thing, which called gratitude.

What were your feelings about the journey at the start?

If I talk about my feeling at the start of the journey with context to gratitude, I must tell that I have no idea about such details description regarding gratitude. I didn’t know that this little word contains huge knowledge and details inside it. Previously, I only said thank you to people, I hardly felt this.

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

This was again a challenging task to discover what I’m doing, which I’m learning? But, here at Amal, I started to know about these aspects as well. I got ideas about how people help each other and how they are indulging with each other. How they are showing gratitude to each other. This was amazing and experience throughout.

What did you discover about yourself in this journey?

I discovered many things about myself. Although, I was still quiet. I less used to talk during sessions but there were positive changes that were happening inside me. I was the person who had no idea about her strength and weaknesses. At Amal, I was not going to polish my skills I was there to discover my skills. That was a huge accomplishment for me that I’ve learned and re-trait them inside me.

So, this was my overall experience regarding my visual stories and about my discovery. Hope you’ll enjoy it and like it.
