I Am Malala

Growing up in Taliban controlled Pakistan, Malala and her family were concerned with women’s education in their home. She became a BBC blogger, writing about what it was like living under the Islamic extremists. She was a strong advocate for education, publicly speaking about the issue and winning several awards. In 2012, the Taliban considered her a threat, and boarded her school bus, shooting her in the head. Malala was 14 years old. She survived the attack, receiving treatment in England. From these traumatic events, she rose to become a global figure and the youngest Nobel Prize laureate of all time. Her book, I am Malala, the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban, is a memoir of her experiences that is read throughout the world. Malala’s misfortune played a huge role in bringing to center stage, and in making her the influential women she is today.

It began as an ordinary day in Mingora, Pakistan, for a young girl returning home from school on her school bus. Suddenly, a masked gunman rushed into the bus and shouted, “Who is Malala?” Her friends on the bus looked back at her, and in the blink of an eye she was shot on the left side of her face. This incident was the spark that ignited a call for change in education around the world. Malala Yousafzai was the face of this change. She made significant contributions to female education rights by being an education activist and urging children to speak out and fight for their rights. She forever changed the lives of Pakistani girls who today benefit from free education and resources with numerous schools around their country.

I am Malala is a heroic story about a young woman who stood up for what she wanted. This auto-biography is based on a teenager named Malala Yousafzi who stood up for girls education in her home country Pakistan. She also went against the Taliban because she didn't think it was right of what they were doing to her innocent village. When Malala was born very few people came to congratulate her parents because the birth of a girl is seen as a failure of the parents in her culture. She was born and raised in Sway Valley, Northeastern Pakistan. Swat Valley has beautiful scenery which attracts a lot of tourism until the Taliban took over the valley. Malala’s parents Ziauddin and Toor Pekai were very kind humble people from the mountain villages. Malala’s father was a very well educated man who grew up studying poetry and literature. He also started the Khushal School a three years before Malala was born. ”My father started the school three years before I was born, and he was a teacher, accountant, and principal—as well as a janitor, handyman, and chief mechanic.” (Chapter 1, Page 20) In Malala’s culture, girls are refused an education or even simply knowing how to read and write. Her father helped girls by starting the school and making a big influence on girls. Malala is truly a hero throughout this paper you will see how she changed everything.

The autobiography I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai begins with the scene of young pakistani education and women’s rights activist Malala being shot in the head. Her school bus had been stopped by the Taliban who, after asking which of the girls was Malala, put a bullet into her head. Malala ends the powerful prologue with the words “Who is Malala? I am Malala and this is my story” (9). Malala then rewinds to the story of her birth and how in Pakistan, no one congratulated her parents when she was born because she was a girl. Pakistani culture pushes for the birth of a boy as an islamic majority country. However, her father saw the potential in his daughter as a great leaser and named her after one of the great female leaders in Pakistan-

“The terrorists thought they would change my aims and stop my ambitions. But nothing changed in my life except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born.” This quote by Malala Yousafzai is a profound explanation of what she has persevered and what her perseverance has achieved.

Malala Yousafzai was a talented and brave young woman who had one goal in life: to get an education and encourage others to do the same. Born in Pakistan, Malala did not grow up with many resources, but she was lucky enough to have a father that shared the same goal as her. At the young age of fifteen, she was shot in the face by the Taliban for standing up for girls’ rights to an education. Although the recovery time was long and hard, the Taliban did not silence her as she continued her campaign. This eventually led her to opening her own school in Yemen and writing the novel I Am Malala. As someone who highly values education and bravery, her story made me interested in learning more about her culture, family, and experiences.

What are some good written examples of good decisions and what is a moral compass? A moral compass is your perception of what is right or wrong and whether you choose to have integrity or not. In other words, your moral compass is your conscience. I have chosen the Little Women and I Am Malala selections from our StudySync unit. I Am Malala is written by Malala herself and Patricia McCormick. Little Women is written by Louisa May Alcott. Both of these show great acts of integrity and choosing the right path using the character’s moral compass.

I know Malala’s mission and experiences rather than just recognizing her as the girl who got shot by the Taliban. Malala is very consistent with her beliefs, “I am Malala. My world has changed but I have not” (Yousafzai 313). I am able to understand that Malala is working to accomplish education for all, not only women. After reading this book, I am able to understand that the Taliban is not the only issue; however, it is the drones, the war, the unreasonable traditions, and the gender discrimination towards woman and girls in Pakistan. I now realize that this is not the only country with sexism, but one that has been drastically affected by
