Mike Dilbeck put our thoughts of a hero on paper, and captured them perfectly. He speaks of a hero as someone who "transforms compassion into a heroic action." He says that a hero will take risks for their cause and volunteered willingly for service for someone else. Finally a hero doesn't expect gifts and material gains in return. Two heroes fit these guidelines. First, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a women's rights activist in the 1840s, argued for women, she made silenced people finally have a voice, and a loud one at that. Second, is Malala Yousafzai, a fighter for education, she took bullets for going to school and speaking out, but her opinions are far from being quiet.

They do not like and are tired of the homework their teachers assigned and a bunch of tests, quizzes they have every week. What these student do not know is that in some counties the opportunity to get education is relatively low than the countries they lived in. They also do not know how powerful schooling can be and how some people’s lives can be changed through going to school. In the book I Am Malala, the author Malala Yousafzai describes her tough life of pursuing education under the Taliban’s control. And how she fights against the Taliban for her right for education. Knowledge is the primary thing that people can get from education. By going to school, people learn how to read, write and some critical thinking skills. Without this knowledge, people are not able to identify right and wrong. Knowing how easily ignorant people can be controlled, terrorist do whatever they can to stop people, especially girls, from going to school. However, education is a powerful tool for fighting these terrorist, because well-educated people are harder to be fooled and controlled.

Malala Yousafzai’s is a women’s activist for youth education, but primarily for girls. On July 12th, 2013, she delivered an address at the Youth Takeover of the United Nation.
