Malala Yousafzai

by Linda, Xing Yue, Jessica from China

     Will you fight for your education by using your own life to take risks? Would you believe a person who got shot in the head and the neck is luckily stayed alive? Is it possible for a 14 years old girl to make peace for other girls in her country? Yes, of course it is possible!!! Because every person and every animal could been a peacemaker and a hero. Not every heroes are  the person who saved someone from a trap or save the cat down the tree, it could just be a little action that make others feel very impressed.Also, a hero doesn't need to be a person who won tons and tons of prizes, it could be a men, women, old granny, and every livings on the earth.

  My hero is Malala Yousafzai. She was born in Pakistan, Mingora on July 12, 1997. On October 9, 2012, Malala was shot in the head and the neck in a assassination attempt by the Taliban gunmen on the school bus, someone on her school bus said that the shot out of the gun got crooked and did not took Malala's life,but, the people on her school bus immediately called the ambulance, Malala got sent to the United Kingdom Hospital . She was a Pakistan Girls School pupil and a education activist from the town of Mingora in the Swat District of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. She was the youngest nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize.Malala has since been nominated International Children's Peace Prize. She was the winner of Pakistan's first National Youth Peace Prize. She was known as women's rights activism. She fought for the education of the girls and woman rights. Like in the Holy Bible said: Good people will always have good luck and good things that will happen. Bad people will never have good luck while they are doing bad things. God will only protect and help the good people not the bad people. Malala is a risk taker and is brave because she fought for things that other people is afraid to do.

  Malala made me feel very impressed that how she was so brave and being a risk taker.  She was not afraid to do what others girls at her age were afraid to do. She is showing  her great empathetic traits., she cared about the other girls in her country. She could use the most precious thing in the whole entire world, using her life, to care for others, change others lives, and make Pakistan better, even little kid in Pakistan.  The whole world's people from every different place was inspired by her. 

       The Pakistani government even said that November 10 is "Malala Day".  They want to celebrate Malala because she went back to school even though she was injured.  She inspires other girls to go to school. Going to school is always important!!
Malala noticed that, everybody has equal rights, why will they only let boys go to school and girls stay at home? Every person is born as how they are,and Malala just showed to us that girls can also go to the school. I think we must celebrate her.
