How Does Malala Yousafzai's Life Affect Her Life?

After reading the book ‘’I Am Malala’’ I noticed that she was one of the bravest strong young girls in the world. Malala Yousafzai is a young girl born on July 12, 1997, in the city, Mingora in Pakistan. She fought for something that is she is passionate about. Heroes are people who stand up for something, they are courageous, they are noble and they are loyal to something they stand for. Malala is known as the fifteen-year-old girl who got shot because she fought for women’s rights and education. This young girl named Malala is brave, persistent, and influential.

People at first viewed her as a young girl that was just sticking up for what she wanted, whereas later she was viewed as a strong independent woman. After speaking out to the world multiple times, the chances of the Taliban attacking her grew enormously. They hated the fact that she was rebelling against them instead of following their rules. She continued on, even after being harassed by the Taliban to back down. Malala was secured until one day when she was riding the bus to school. The Taliban had raided the bus and shot her. “...Malala was in bad shape. The bullet had destroyed her left ear…but miraculously she clung to her life,” the article stated. Although, Malala never surrendered to the Taliban, instead, she had persistence and kept going, even though she was hurt. After the unfortunate incident, Malala gained, even more, supporters. People realized that she was so “...dedicated to teaching students and helping students and empowering students,” since she had the passion and ability to inspire as it said in “What is a Role Model? Five Qualities that Matter to Teens” by Marilyn Price-Mitchell. She was able to be so successful that she won the Nobel Peace Prize in the year of 2014, at the age of 17, being the youngest ever to be awarded the

Finding the right things to motivate people to face their fears seems impossible to solve, but anything that inspires someone can help people find courage. Malala Yousafzai is the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize because she fought and still fights for the education of children today. Her speech accepting the award talks about her beliefs and her life. Malala uses courage to face her fears of being attacked by pushing to pursue her belief that everyone should have an

Malala Yousafzai is a young Pakistani woman, who I believe should earn the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize. She fits the requirements of bringing peace and equality to the world, and demonstrates courage by fighting for girls’ education. In addition, Malala faced two challenging obstacles in her life.

First, Malala Yousafzai, she fought for girls’ right to education for this, “Malala won Pakistan’s National Youth Peace prize, which has since been renamed the National Malala Peace Prize. In 2014, she was awarded the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize.” Malala is ambitious because she wants to help other people no matter the threat that the Taliban were giving Malala. Malala has succeeded in getting a message out that every girl

At such young age Malala stood up for for women education and changed the world completely. For instance, Malala Yousafzai states in her book I am Malala “One child, one teacher, one book, one

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

Malala Yousafzai is the youngest person to have ever won the Nobel Peace Prize, one of only 16 women to have won the prize, and the only woman from Pakistan to have won the prize. Malala won that prize for standing up for the social issues of Pakistan and almost getting killed for standing up for what’s right. There are several issues going on in Pakistan but more specifically in the valley of Swat. The social issues going on in Pakistan are gender discrimination, education rights, and extremism.

Throughout the span of the human race, many people and organization have stood up for the right of others. Some scientists raced against time to produce vaccines that saved millions if not billions of lives. On the other hand, many speakers traveled across the globe to promote individual’s freedom and rights. In wartime, more people regardless of their backgrounds worked tirelessly to save lives of many individuals who faced genocide. Undoubtedly, history has foretold that at any moment in time, people are working tremendously so that other people may have a better world to live. Regarding education, Malala Yousafzai, known as Malala, has put all her efforts in promoting education to every child living on earth. She was a target of an insurgent group, but now she is the savior of many children. Thanks to her works, many children now have an education which they have never once dreamed they would have. Her moral courage will be a legacy that she leaves for humans.

Overcoming Obstacles Life may seem hard at times, though if one can push through these hard times, great things can result from them. Many examples of this have been shown through the history of the world, and can also be shown in the modern world today. One person who has shown great resilience in today's society is Malala Yousafzai. She fought the Taliban in order to allow women to attend school in Pakistan. Louis Armstrong is another example of how one can overcome obstacles to become greater.

Yousafzai is still a devoted advocate for education. In 2013, she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, but didn’t win. The next year, she was named a nominee again, and won. At age 17, she became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. The young activist continued to take action on global education by opening a school for Syrian refugee girls in Lebanon. Malala Yousafzi is truly inspirational, and doesn’t take no for an answer. That is why

“I am those 66 million girls who are deprived of education. And today I am not raising my voice, it is the voice of those 66 million girls.” Malala Yousafzai makes this statement in her speech to the Nobel Committee as the first Pakistani and, at the age of sixteen, the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize Award. Malala was unfortunately shot in the head by a member of the Taliban, due to the fact that she defied a culture that did not allow girls to have an education. Despite her brush with death, she not only recovered, but became a champion for the rights of children and girls around the world to receive an education. Malala delivered a speech before the Nobel Committee
