15 year old Pakistani schoolgirl,
Malala Yousafzai, survived an attempted assassination by Taliban militants. On
Thursday, she was released from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, England.
It was said on the hospital’s Website, she “is well enough to be treated by the
hospital as an outpatient for the next few weeks. She is still due to be
readmitted in late January or early February to undergo cranial reconstructive
surgery as part of her long-term recovery, and in the meantime she will visit
the hospital regularly to attend clinical appointments.”
At
the age of 11, Malala became a speaker for the education for girls in Pakistan.
She became an advocate when the BBC’s Urdu-language service published her “Diary
of a Pakistani Schoolgirl.” The blog provided information of life under Taliban
rule in 2009, after her home in the Swat Valley was taken over by the Islamist
militants. In October she was airlifted to England after being shot in the head
by a militant and received treatment in the same month. Ziauddin, her father, Wednesday has been
appointed to a three year term as the Pakistan’s education attaché in
Birmingham.
From what I have heard from the
news article Malala Yousafzai sounds like a brave and inspiring girl, for girls
in Pakistan and for girls around the world. She inspires by teaching that
everyone should fight for what they believe in. I think she has achieved a lot because
of her blog and is fighting for a great cause. I hope that her recovery goes by
smoothly and that she keeps on inspiring others. (WC 262)
