Malala
Yousafzai is the Pakistani teenage girl who I wrote an earlier blog about her
and the incident that occurred last fall. Last fall she was shot in the head by
a Taliban gunman. She was caught advocating girls’ rights to an education when
she was shot in the head. The memoir is titled, I am Malala. In a press release she wrote, “I want to tell my
story, but it will also be the story of 61 million of children who can’t
education.” The deal for the memoir is around $3 million, but no one at
publisher Little, Brown was willing to confirm the number.
I
think she is extremely determined and has a large amount of bravery. For her to
get injured and still want to fight the right for children to have an education
is amazing! If the same thing happened to me I would probably be way too scared
to continue the fight and would have just stayed home after the incident, so I have
a huge respect for her and I give her props for being this determined and
trying to make the world a better place. Her journey that she has been really
sad but is really inspiring and it makes you wonder what you can do with your
own life and makes you want to try something new and also help others who don’t
have it as well as you do. I find her extremely inspiring and she gives me hope
and others all over the world hope that the world can become a much better
place than it is right now and that sometime in the future girls’ in Pakistan
will be able to attend school without violence occurring and that they will be
able to get the education that they deserve.
