by Ava

This is Malala.
This is Malala.

I chose Malala Yousafzai as my hero because she fought for women's rights. She didn't just keep it to herself, she tried to tell the whole world. She was still standing up for women's rights when no one was standing with her. Malala's parents' names are Ziaudddin (father) and Torpekai (mother). Malala also has two older brothers. Malala's birthday is July 12th 1997. She was born in Mingora, Pakistan located in the country Swat Valley. She was in grade school till the 5th grade. Malala got shot in the left side of her head three times.

Malala got influenced to stand up by theses other girls around the world who said in letters that they wanted education like her. The obstacles she had to do her goal is getting shot in the head the bullets went down to her neck. Malala went to a great hospital. she is still alive today. My hero is a hero to me because she stood up for what's right.

My hero did lots of good actions. Some of them are she's for what she believes in like Girls education. Malala was put on a cover of a magazine for ''100 Most Influenced People in the World''. Malala is really courageous to speak in front of her whole country. Malala got the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. She shared it with three other people. Malala won other awards but that was the biggest one. She accomplished her biggest goal yet girls education. When she got shot it was from the Taliban.

Malala has lots of courage and Perseverance. She has lots of perseverance because she still stood up for women's rights when no one was standing with her. She has lots of courage because it takes a lot of courage to speak in front of a country. Malala really influenced me by being persevering and courageous.

Malala is my hero because she helped girls all around the world with education, being social and many more. Malala is a giver not a taker. She is really generous.
