 Malala Yousafzai

Malala is a normal girl. She goes to school, has a family, etc. The only NON normal

thing is that she was targeted by the Taliban. She was born on July 12, 1997. She was shot

on October 9, 2012 ( because she had a blog that she would tell all the people in the world

what is happening in Swat, Afghanistan).Malala was riding the bus home.one gunmen

boarded the bus and opened fire, hitting malala and 3 other classmates. After she got shot,

she was rushed to the hospital. The bullet didnt hit her brain if it did she would have mental

issues. I think the bullet gave her another shot to live because she could continue to fight for

women's rights and give girls the chance to have education.

She is now a teen activist. She won a bunch of awards (because she gave about 13

MILLION girls education no ect). She made a change in the world. The inspiration to do all of

this is was because of her father(Ziauddin Yousafzai). Her father is a professor at a college.

He thinks girls should have the chance to go to school. The Taliban is making these stupid

laws that other people should fight for.

Malala is making a change in the world; she is inspiring others to do the same. She

wants everyone to think, be friendly, and make a difference in the world. Like in one of her

quotes With guns you can kill terrorists, but with education you can kill terrorism. Girls

should have the opportunity to fight and kill terrorism.
