Malala: The Bravest Girl in the World

     Have you heard of Malala Yousafzai? If not, she's the Muslim girl with an insane amount of courage and an amazingly strong will! Malala, a 15-year-old Pakistani native who is fighting for the right of education, was shot a few weeks ago by the Taliban for speaking out about her cause. Yes, education is a right, and before complaining to anybody (including yourself) about how school is the worst thing in the world, listen to Malala's story.
     Malala started as a blogger for the BBC about living under Taliban rule. She would post about going to school (and not going to school), violence in the street, and life living as a girl in the Middle East. When the Taliban made it illegal for Malala and other girls, to go to school, she just couldn't stay silent about it. She probably got her beliefs about education from her father, Ziauddin Yousazai, a poet, school owner, and education activist.
     After protesting, Malala could go back to school, But one day, after school had ended and the bus has stopped, a man in a mask with a gun got into the bus and threatened to kill everyone unless Malala identified herself. After he saw which student was her, he shot at her, and one of the bullets went through her head and neck, then lodged in her shoulder close to her spinal cord.
     Miraculously, Malala survived. She is currently in the U.K. at a hospital, still recovering. The doctors say that she is going to be all right, thankfully!
     Think about it! She was shot for her and other's education! We have it so easy. We don't go to school with even the slightest notion that we are going to be shot for it! Whenever you want burn your schoolwork and books, remember Malala, and what she fights for.

Many people want Malala to win a Nobel Peace Prize. What do you think?
