She is inspiring. She is passionate about her cause.She is level headed and has a very calm persona.She is a huge inspiration.
While I was working out Math equations,she was working out solutions to change the world. While I complained about eating green vegetables,she spoke up for her rights. While I fought with boys my age,she fought to save her life.
While I always knew about her,I never bothered to dig deeper and find out more. On a lazy Saturday afternoon,I stumbled across her interviews and needless to say I was hooked for the next three hours,just watching her talk,hearing her inspiring words and in awe of her immense courage.
She has strong views and is passionate about her fight for girls rights to education. She has risen like a phoenix from the ashes (comparison to Fawkes) and has surged ahead to empower women all over the world.
Watching her interviews was an experience by itself. I found her to be so humble and lively despite the adversities she faced. She is so strong and has few qualms. She is forgiving and moreover benevolent. (Did I just use that word in a normal sentence?) She holds no grudge against her attackers and calmly states "If a Talib were to shoot me again,I would look him in the eye and say ' I am only fighting for my right to education. I am fighting so that your children too can be educated. Thats all I had to say,now do what you want".
Initially,I was stunned like the rest of the world and then gradually came to realize the immense amount of courage this girl had to stand up to someone most people fear. I was mesmerized and transfixed. The next few hours was spent looking her up on the internet,watching multiple Youtube interviews and just being inspired by her. Finally I just shut everything down and opened her book "I am Malala" and I have not put it down since. (cue re reading )
Malala Yusufzai is the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. She is a Pakistani activist fighting for womens rights and girls education.She is my age and has achieved far more than I could possibly imagine.Watching her was overwhelming and it enforced me to do my bit for the world.
I would truly recommend every one of our readers to read her book "I am Malala". It is insightful and gives us a whole different viewpoint of life in Pakistan.
