Reflection Of I Am Malala

Malala Visits the girls who are imprisoned in their homes, not allowed to go to school or learn anything. She Instructs the ignorant Taliban to let girls learn and have their basic rights of freedom. And she feeds the girls who are hungry for knowledge. Malala is a true modern day prophet and lives a life that reflects the works of mercy. As Malala says when talking about standing up for herself, “I said to myself, Malala you must be brave. You must not be afraid of anyone. You are only trying to get an education. You are not committing a crime.”.

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 writes about the social normalities of her culture and how it was not very strict before the Taliban emerged in their valley.

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

each other. Even with the Taliban’s increasing oppression Malala’s family is there for her and supported her through it all. Malala’s village and friends are basically all family. Even when she was shot her village and friends were praying for her. She says “People prayed to God to spare me,and I was spared for a reason- to use my life to helping people..” ( Yousafzai 301). This quote really shows how much her village really cares about her and her family. While Malala was at the hospital she read Alice in Wonderland, and what she wrote about how she interpreted it was really interesting. She says “She(Alice) had to overcome a lot of obstacles to get to where She was going, and I thought if you want to achieve a goal, there will be hurdles in your way, but you

One major connection that could be made between Malala and my own experiences was public speaking. Malala took similar footsteps as her father when she wanted to find a way to impress him after stealing and lying to her family. “Notices had gone up at school for a public speaking competition /.../ I remembered the story of my father surprising my grandfather and longed to do the same. When we got the topic, I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was ‘Honesty is the best policy’” (Yousafzai 108). Although Malala did not win first place, she made her father proud and discovered one of her best talents that influenced her to speak out in the future. This was similar to my junior year when I tried out to be a member of the

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 was only 10 and as she already understood the major issue of her home country, Pakistan, as regards to their position on women’s rights. She realized in Pakistan women did not have as many rights as men such as the right of education. From that moment, she knew that she would fight for peace and democracy for the Pakistan women in her future.

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

As a child Malala was always interested in school. She constantly asked to read books and hear stories. That was all until the a terrorist group called the Taliban took over her home town Swat Valley in Pakistan. When the Taliban took over they banned young girls from going to school. From there on Malala chose to invest in her education and was secretly taught math, reading, and writing.

From a young age Malala has worked close with her community, since her father was an activist to make education available for all children of Swat. Since her father was an activist in their community, Malala too learned from her father and walked in his footsteps. With learning the importance of education Malala also gained wisdom. A prime example of this wisdom comes from her book when she talks about how at times she would think about what she would do if the Taliban came for her. Taking a more aggressive and physical approach Malala would then realize that would take away from her message that she would want them to hear, even if they were meant to do her harm.

She was shot in a van on the way back to school by a taliban soldier on the way back to her house. She was very lucky to survive the shot, but her left eye was badly injured. When Malala woke up in a England hospital, here left eye was blurry and everyone looked funny. She now fights for women's rights, like education. Almost all kids ( boys and girls) and adults ( women and men). Help her in this struggle for education. Malala also wants to help kids in Africa, because she wants education for all. Many people around the world donate to Africa, including Malala and Rowan Blanchard. Malala also dislikes the travel ban that Trump made. She thinks that anyone could go to America if they wanted to, except terrorists and terrorist groups. Malala commented, “ Well, when the president banned Muslim- majority countries, that was really disappointing, And I was deeply hurt because I’m Muslim. And to me, it just seemed like directly blaming Muslims, and that is not a

She finds it strange that the females are restricted and are only supposed to have babies and take care of the household. Malala knows that something isn’t right but she still goes about her daily life.

She speaks about all the women and children not just for herself. Malala is a very strong girl who stood up for her rights. She said that she doesn’t even hate the taliban that shot her, “her soul is telling her to be peace and love everyone.” This is saying that even though some people didn’t think the same as her she still loves every single one of

Malala reflects upon the personal choice that she made to stand up for her human rights, specifically the right for women to be educated. The personal choice that she makes threatens her life, forcing her to leave her country. Even after almost being killed by the Taliban, Malala still speaks out about human rights and the
