Heros Of The World: Malala F. And Alex L.

When Malala began speaking she was only 11 and was only trying to speak her mind. The dangerous terrorist group has invaded her home city, and she had the courage to speak up against them expecting no fame. The Taliban enforce strict Islamic law and destroyed or shut down girls' schools preventing women from getting and education. The people living here lived in constant fear but Malala was one of the few brave enough to fight it. Malala chose to continue going to school and even helped lead a group of girls to furthur their education, which is very dangerous considering her circumstances. The radical group soon strikes back, attempting to assassinate a only 15 y/o activist. Malala survived a shot to the head, and dident let that stop her and dident let that stop her from advocating for womens education. She faced many tragities, making sacrafices and even putting her life on the line. Malala overcame many obsticals and those obsticals are one of the reasons she is so globally

Malala Yousafzai believes that education is a basic right for every person. Malala, born July twelfth, nineteen ninety-seven is an activist for girls education. She was shot at just fifteen years old as a result of her life as an activist. Malala was nominated for the twenty-thirteen Nobel Peace Prize, but she did not win it. Many people have mixed feelings about the outcome of her nomination for the prestigious award. Malala believes that education is the basic right of boys and girls, men and women everywhere. The controversy which surrounds her life is a direct result of these beliefs, and is the reason she was shot.

Malala was a special girl. She lived in Mingora, Pakistan, where it eventually was controlled by Taliban. She attended a school that her father founded which was taken away by the laws against education for girls that the Taliban was creating to destroy. In the year of 2009, she became a blogger for BBC to talk about the horror of the control that the Taliban were achieving. But on the same year, she was threatened was eventually shot in the head by a Taliban. It was an ordinary day and “Malala was sitting in her school bus when a man climbed on board and demanded to know “Which one of you is Malala?” When she answered, “I am Malala”, the man opened fire” (Kennedy- Macfoy). However she survived the bullet and actually gave one of the biggest messages ever, education for all girls. No one knew should would live and will make a change on the gender roles towards education, especially the Tailban who thought they have gotten away of the assassination. She gave a lot of speeches towards this powerful disapproval of women education and to create a stand that women deserve the right to education themselves. As her ideas and message became to spread, “she became one of the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize” (Kettler). She also got her own day called Malala day on July 12, 2015 where she continued to take action on women education and with Malala funds she was able to open a school in Lebanon. Malala became a symbol over the education for girls and the disagreement towards gender

Who is Malala? She is a worldwide figure who is famous for her dangerous stand she took for girl’s right to education. She is in England, far away from her house in Pakistan. She won the Nobel Peace Prize and she is a symbol for girl’s right to education. But what was she before all of these happenings. Who was she? What happened? What was her past? One of Malala’s famous quotes is,“We realize the importance of our voices only when we are silenced.” Why did she write this quote? Was it derived from her experience? Yes. The reason Malala’s voice was silenced was because of the Taliban and Fazlullah.

In addition, Malala changed her name to Gul Makai while she was writing blog posts for the BBC. This shows that she is persistent because she did whatever it took to make the world aware what was happening around her. Also, Malala has started to post and blogging for the BBC news about being treated like a slave under the Taliban’s threat to oppose her education. This means, that although this can get her hurt or killed she still continued to fight for women’s rights and for her education. Lastly, after all the threats her family had received, she was frightened because the Taliban would go after her father and did not think they would actually harm a child. She then was shot in the head when she was on the school bus on the way home and survived. This explains that this was worth it because many people had heard her speech and did not give up at all for her

Malala is a great activist for our world. For example, she has a big part of the inspiration for education. In her homeland, Taliban told girls they weren’t allowed to go to school or dance, play outside, sing etc. She believed girls had much of a right to go to school as boys do. Malala started to go to the boys school as one of her own rights. At this point, the Malala become a target to the Taliban. She was fourteen and the Taliban struck her on the bus with a shot in the head. She was hit in the head but missed a little bit by her skull. She came back strong at sixteen years and showed she will never give up for girls rights. “ I speak with my voice” she would say in an interview. Just because we have feet and hands, knees do not

Why? Because she was not only a 15-year-old girl; she was also a crusader for girls’ right to go to school. This work had made her famous throughout Pakistan and around the world. It had also made her a target of the Taliban.” (6) This is also a challenge because Malala would be risking a lot of things by standing up to the Taliban and going to school. She would be risking the death or torture of herself and her family. The article stated, “The bullet severely damaged her hearing and fractured her skull, causing her brain to swell dangerously. Fortunately, the physicians in Birmingham were able to control the swelling. Over the past months, she has undergone several operations to repair her skull and improve her hearing.” (9) The last challenge is a big challenge for Malala because she will have to go through many surgeries to fix the damage from the bullet that the gunmen shot at her. Her brain and hearing might never get back to normal or how they were before the bullet hit her.

Have you ever thought that the world was an unfair place? Have you ever knew that you would take a bullet just to make things right? have you ever thought or knew that you would die so you could make the world a better place? Well, these three people do. Some people may be ashamed or skeptical for what these three people do. Many people are grateful and blessed to have these people in their world. So, without further ado, get ready to hear the stories of Alex lin, Iqbal masih, and Malala Yousafzai .

The Taliban issued death threats against her because she was fighting for girls rights to an education. On October 9, 2012 a gunman shot her in the head on her way home from school. After she survived, she gave speeches and still remained to fight for girls education rights. The Taliban kept giving her warnings but she still fought for what she believed in. Malala’s speeches and her never giving up helped her be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 2013. She didn’t win but in 2014 she was nominated again and won. Malala still lives and succeeded in getting girls rights to an

Malala a young pakistani girl grew up loving education which was highly encouraged by her father who served as the principal at the local school. This is why she didn't understand when suddenly she was told it was against her religion. She studied the Koran religiously so she understood a lot of it and new that they were incorrect. All that she wanted was a chance to learn in peace. She began her acts of defiance by continuing to go to school and encouraging her friends to feel confident in going to school with her. Malala’s home became more dangerous because the Pakistani Taliban became more confident and many of her friends stopped going to school. Despite this, she felt more confident in her stance and began writing anonymous diary entries that were published in the UK. She stated in one of her entries “What have I done wrong that I should be afraid? All I want to do is go to school. And that is not a crime. That is my right,” (Yousafzai and McCormick 53). The world began to learn what was happening, which began a long journey for her stance. Malala's identity was later discovered.

Women that defend their rights face enormous risks every day and Malala is a perfect example of this. She is a perfect example of this because she was affected by this problem. An example of this is “In October 2012, on her bus-ride home from school, she was shot in the head by the Taliban for promoting girls’ right to education.” When the bullet hit her skin, the bone richoted it away and the bullet hit her eardrum instead. Once she fully recovered from the bullet to her head she began to fight for girls rights once again. To this day many girls and women still fight daily for the right to learn.

Teen activism a problem in our daily life community. Meaning in we need to speak up and adults need to raise kids voice too. Take it from me I am a kid and I have a strong opinion on things too. Just take a look of these three incredible stories. One, Alex LIbby and his story on him speaking up to his parents on being Bullied. Two, Malala Yousafzai and her struggles to get attention. Third, Laura Cock and Rebeka Kahaft wanting to help save the planet and be environmentalist. Kids need help of adults to have a voice so adults help, help the weak voices or the voices people don’t care to stop and think about.

A hard part of being a teen activist is challenges they faced. According to ABC news with Diane Sawyer, an obstacle malala faced was when she was blogging she couldn’t use her own name, she had to use the name Gul Makai or "cornflower" in Urdu. This is a major obstacle

To start it off, Malala is an inspiring activist that people look up to. When she was shot, people prayed for her and supported her. According to
