The story this week is incredible! For a girl, only sixteen years of age, making a stand to try to bring about changes to her circumstances is not heard of very often and never when the opposing side is the Taliban. I love how she said that if a member of the Taliban came to kill her, she would explain to him her reasons for education and even that his children would benefit from it. Then he could do what he wanted with her, I think we all wish that we have the kind of courage that Malala has, to be able to not fight and turn the other cheek when someone is trying to hurt you. I was also very impressed that Malala's solution to the problem wasn't war but education instead. It's hard to believe that someone such as Malala, who has gone through so much tradegy doesn't feel hatred towards the people who are responsible for these actions, instead she just wants to bring change through peace; a lesson we could all learn.
Malala is completely right, the key to a brighter future is education. In America, it's really a shame because kids don't want to go to school or work hard for an education where as children in Pakistan would love to have this opportunity. Malala's story could motivate anyone, I believe. We should all take advantage of this great opportunity we have here in the United States because an education only betters yourself and helps you move forward and be more successful in the world. A lot of kids in America need to hear her story so they realize how blessed we all really are.
