From Doubts to Dreams: Redefining Marriage in My Own Way

 My ACAS: A Journey Etched in Gratitude

And so, that moment has finally arrived...

I never imagined that I would one day walk down the steps and leave Al Shifa. As I pen this note, my heart is full — of memories, love, joy, and above all, deep gratitude.

Joining Al Shifa after completing my post-graduation, without any prior teaching experience, was both exciting and daunting. Every single day was a new learning experience for me. Alongside teaching, I grew — not just professionally, but personally too. I learned from my students, my colleagues, and the challenges that came my way.

From preparing lessons late into the night to standing before a class for the first time, unsure of how my words would land — each of these experiences slowly built my confidence. I discovered the joy of connecting with young minds, of watching them grow, and in turn, they helped me grow. Teaching became more than a profession; it became a passion I now hold close to my soul.

Looking back, the past two years have been nothing short of a beautiful journey. If I had to name one of the greatest blessings I received during my time here, it would be the rare opportunity to work alongside the Principal of the very college I studied in. Thank you, Babu Sir — it meant the world to me.

And then came Kamal Sir, who joined as the Principal. I have never met a more open-hearted and broad-minded individual. His leadership was reassuring and inspiring, and it gave me the courage to take on new responsibilities with confidence.

I cannot move forward without mentioning my dear Irshad Sir — more than a colleague, he has been like a brother to me. I saw in him not just a teacher, but a true companion. Someone who stood by me, understood me, and supported me like family.

Of course, my heartfelt thanks also go to Noufal Sir , the Head of the Economics Department — a mentor I will always look up to. He was a guiding force throughout my initial phase as a teacher, especially during moments of uncertainty. I could always count on his wisdom, kindness, and support.

In this journey at ACAS, I also found a gem — my Shamil , a true best friend. His presence made the difficult days easier, and the good days even more special. Some friendships are meant to be found in the most unexpected places, and I will always treasure this one.

Al Shifa became like a second home to me. My colleagues were more than coworkers — they were a family. And my students… you were the heart of my journey here. It breaks my heart to part ways with you all. Every class we shared, every smile, every question, every conversation — they will live in my memory forever.

As I take this step forward, I hold on to one belief:

“Sometimes, people leave our lives to make room for others even more beautiful to arrive."

And with that thought, I take my leave.

 Thank you, Al Shifa... 

 Thank you, my dear students… 

 Thank you, my mentors and friends… 

Though I step away from my duties, I carry all the memories and experiences with me.

You will always remain a part of my journey, deep in my heart.
