Malala Yousafzai Legacy

When I first saw “He Named Me Malala”, I recieved a deeper insight into who Malala was, and how she lived. I had presumptions of her being serious and prudish, but after viewing the movie, I saw she was just an average girl. She showed me that you can be anyone, anywhere, and make a difference in the world. Malala has also opened my eyes to the importance of education. After watching the movie, I felt motivated to go make a difference in the world, and to better pursue my education and put more effort into it. Malala has become one of my best role models in my life for activism and education since watching “He Named Me Malala.” I highly recommend others to watch the movie so they can see Malala’s amazing story, so they too can realize the importance of education and that you can make a difference, wherever and whoever you

Malala risked her life to fight for girls’ education, but survived and is still fighting for the cause she deeply cares about. Many foreign countries such as Pakistan or Iraq believe that certain targeted groups don’t deserve a proper education because of certain ways that they live life. As a young girl fighting for such a controversial issue such as education, Malala understood the struggles of many uneducated students’ lives because she has lived it. She told the interviewer, “When you don’t have an education, your life is very much controlled by others” (Yousafzai 1). It is so difficult to go through life with no type of education, then one is unable to critically understand what certain things are which doesn’t help very much. If a person does receive an education, they understand the problems that people face and understands different areas. Throughout her fight for education, Malala felt the need to not just help fight this cause locally but also internationally because of people hearing about her courageous story. “The Malala Fund was created to help advocate education around the world” (Yousafzai 1). There are many different types

The novel “I am Malala” conflicts a lot with the beliefs of the world right now. The Taliban was the main focus of the text as it was the main reason behind Malala and her country’s pain. The conflicts with my view of the world is very similar and very different at the same time. I agree with Malala’s beliefs about education right. I believe that education should be equally given to all the children no matter what gender they are, how old they are, where they live and what’s their status. All people should have the right to go school without being afraid. In the quote, “One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.” This means if we all have the knowledge and education the world would be a better place in the future. Without education we wouldn’t have the capability of interpreting things, building a perspective of looking at life. It helps us discover ourselves and our environment to help us make educated choices in the future. Therefore it is vital for every person to have a good education.

Malala is known for being humble in most of her speeches and multiple television appearances. When Malala received the Noble Prize and many awards this is a phrase she repeated the most " how dare the Taliban take away my right to an education"( GIdda 3). This phrase she has repeated various times has put an imprint and opened the eyes of many that this is not just another issue is the kids of the futures education. Just because she has become more "important" from her accident and activism she tries to stay normal around people. Once Malala was fully recovered after her accident she tells about how she tries to not act more "important" but wants to still be normal. She states in an interview " I try not to be so serious with my friends or act differently before my accident, I want to still be normal'( GIdda 3). A lot of people can get caught up in the fame but Malala stayed humble and lived how she is and not through how the media perceived her as. When Malala was at the UN General Assembly she made a really good point on women and their strength present day compared to just years ago. " Today is the day of every woman, every boy and every girl who have raised their voiced for their right "(Satyarthi 709). Malala is a great person to show an example as a hero, she does not limit the rights of one individual nor gender. By becoming so well known for her accomplishments at

Reading his narrative life, inspired me to think about how easy it is to go to school, and learn without any violence happen to me. I do not have to secretly read after I do my chores or ask for permission. He has inspired me to fully take in and appreciate the classrooms I get, the teachers who are there every day, and the help that is offered to me for free at the library and other institutions. Like Douglass, Malala faced struggles to attain her education. She grew up in Pakistan in a village called the Swat Valley. In her home education was important. Where she lived women/ girls were allowed to go to school, but not everyone believed that was a good thing. The Taliban had grown to large numbers, proclaiming their extreme beliefs onto people, one of them is that girls were not allowed to be educated. So schools had to be hidden in what looked like regular buildings, but as soon as the students walked in “that doorway was like a magical entrance to our own special world” (Yousafzai, 2013). School meant so much to these students that even if a large extremist group was threatening them, they still went

“They will not stop me. I will get my education if it is in a home, school, or any other place” these are the words of Malala Yousafzai, a Nobel peace prize winner, a human rights activist, and a Pakistani girl, who has traditions, stories, and a unique experience. She was named after Malalai of Maiwand, the greatest heroine of Afghanistan, and she lives up to her name as a heroine for girls education. Despite the cultural traditions of Malala Yousafzai’s community, she has grown as a world leader in spreading world peace throughout the globe, through her challenges, her accomplishments, and her growth in publicity, with her common goal being an education for all girls.

Malala Yousafzai, simply stated, is remarkable. She is unafraid to speak her mind, despite the penalties she might face. In her book, Malala says, “When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful”. When I first read that line, I stared at the page and thought back to all of the oppressive eras in the world’s past that I had learned about in my history classes and thought to myself, history is happening now, it’s always happening. It’s not just a page in some dusty textbook, it’s a book with never-ending pages filled with amazing people like Malala.

Though overcoming adversity may be difficult to go through, a girl with brains and integrity made a change that effected not only her but the whole world. Her name is Malala Yousafzia. Malala is a well known role model for many reasons but the main one that stands out is, her fight for female education according to Malala Yousafzia biographical. Back when she was young, Malala was an eager learner and wanted to learn everything. She was encouraged to learn more because her dad was a teacher at her school. But when Malala started to go to school a group in her country called the Taliban banned all girls from going to school. Did that stop her? Nope! Not at all she decided she didn't care and continued to go to school. The Taliban found

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

This quote by Malal exclaims her belief on the importance of education for girls around the world. Malala was born in 12,1997 in July in Mingora Pakistan and in the swat valley, it was popular. Wen the Taliban were taking a school she and a big problem with that. She gave a big speech while she was blogging.On October 9, 2012, she got shot in the face on the way home from school. She got rushed to the hospitable and part for her face got shot and two of her friends were with her and they got shot but they were okay. The next year she one the press price. She being a teacher and was 17 wen this all happed. In 2015 she opened a school. " No man is good enough to govern any woman without her

Her father, Ziauddin Yousfazi, owned a school and was a huge advocate for education; Malala learned from a young age that knowledge was important. Despite being so young, she felt that she could make a difference for women all over Pakistan.(Malala Fund) Malala in one of her speeches said, “One book, one pen, one child, and one teacher can change the world.”(Yousfazi, Malala)This shows how Malala sees education and how important she thinks it is for everyone to have one. JK Rowling said that Malala is a “mouthpiece for girls wanting an education.”(Introducing Malala) Despite being a small, young girl, she made a huge impact and “captured the attention of the nation.”(Wylie, Louise) In October of 2012 Malala was shot by a masked gunman who entered her school bus, the man fired one shot that went through her head, neck, and shoulder. After the attack, Malala was moved to the UK where she received treatment. However, the attack only fueled the protesters and brought more attention to the subject.

Malala Yousafzai has been an inspiration to me since I was a freshman in high school. The day her story broke was the day I realized that as an American citizen, I had privilege. No one I knew at that time has ever had to risk their lives for an education, or worry about their families lives if they persisted and went to school. Her story sparked a flame inside me, and six years later, it has yet to be put out. Women's education is a topic I care greatly about, and it is mostly due to the bravery, perseverance, and compassion Malala has shown throughout the years. She began speaking up when she was only a young girl, with the help of BBC and the encouragement of her father. Not long after she raised her voice about the injustice she saw, the

Her life was different many girls in Pakistan even as a newborn, because welcoming a baby girl is not always cause for celebration in Pakistan — but her father was determined to give Malala every opportunity that a boy would have (Malala). She was even named after a great young Pashtun heroine named Malalai, who inspired countrymen with her courage, and her name frequently reminded and encouraged her to persevere later in her life. (Yousafzai 12). Furthermore, her father’s founding of the Khushal School for Girls had a big impact on Malala’s drive and love for learning because she grew up knowing education as a vital and central part of life (Malala). Even before she could read, she would toddle into empty classrooms at the school her father founded and lecture, in her own baby talk (Yousafzai 19).

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.

First, I want to talk about what Malala and her organization have accomplished so far. Malala mostly focuses her efforts towards raising money for girls education. She raises money from other non profit organizations, and she also has a website for people to donate to. She takes the money she raises and either builds schools or buys the kids supplies. Malala has raised over seven million dollars for women’s education in third world
