Everyone has a story to tell; mine is a journey of personal growth, professional development, and unwavering determination. This story recounts my experiences, from becoming a part of Bright With Us to discovering the world of freelancing and setting new goals for myself.
About Me:
My name is Sundas Fatima, and I am a Botany graduate pursuing my Master’s degree in the same field. In 2020, I embarked on a transformative path by joining Bright with Us, an organization that has played a pivotal role in shaping my future.
Joining Bright With Us:
As a student, my focus was always on developing strong communication skills. Recognizing the importance of effective communication in today’s competitive world, I joined Bright With Us in their first English Learning Course in 2020. Little did I know that this decision would open doors to a new career path.
Bright With Us honed my language skills and recognized my potential. Encouraged by my colleague, Mr. Habib Ur Rahman, who became a valuable mentor and a friend, I found myself venturing into freelancing. Through conversations with my peers at Bright With Us, I discovered the life-changing potential of freelancing. Intrigued by their success stories, I embarked on a quest to acquire the necessary skills to thrive as a freelancer.
Freelancing Journey
In 2021, Bright With Us launched its first Fiverr freelancing course, and I eagerly joined as a trainee. Under the guidance of Mr. Muttie Ur Rehman, our instructor, I learned the intricacies of freelancing from scratch. He taught us to think like successful individuals and nurtured our entrepreneurial spirits.
I created my first gig on a short skill in September 2021 with newfound knowledge and determination. Surprisingly, I received my first order within the second week. This initial success fueled my motivation to continue my freelancing journey. Despite juggling demanding studies and family responsibilities, I have managed to earn over 2000 USD to date through my freelancing ventures.
My New Goals
However, I acknowledge that I could have dedicated more time to freelancing in the past year, but now I am determined to priorities it and expand my skill set.
Although freelancing began as a side job, I am now committed to polishing my skills further and utilizing this opportunity as a permanent career. I aspire to establish my presence and build a reputable name in the international market. I plan to continue learning and acquiring new skills through Bright With Us to achieve this. The organization has been my home, offering unwavering support and guidance throughout my journey.
