This article talks about a Pakistani girl with
a blog who changed the minds of many. She lives in a small town where the
Taliban militants have taken over. These people are militants who have changed
rules and control lives of many Pakistani citizens. This girl underwent a
difficult time as these people ordered the banning of women attending school,
and thus preventing them from receiving an education. They believed no one
would ever find out, but Malala Yousafzai is an exception.
As she realized that bad things were happening,
she started recording whatever happened in her ‘Swat’ in a blog where she wrote
with another name. These records were for the BBC Urdu, who noted everything
that was taking place in Pakistan. I admire Malala’s r desire for change. If
the Taliban ever found out (which they did) about her diary, they would have
killed her. It takes courage to write about something when knowing that it
could take your life. I am impressed by the fact that she still wants to pursue
her dreams by creating a political party mainly for education. Malala has
received numerous prizes and recognitions because of all the things she has
done. I believe everyone should follow this Pakistani girl’s actions, because
she has proved to the world that she will stand up for her education and her
future.
Malala continued writing her blog anonymously
until all the interviews and prizes she received revealed her identity. Last Tuesday,
Malala was shot in the head and in the neck by a Taliban militant. She was
immediately taken to the hospital. I believe it is a miracle for her to still
be alive and with chances of getting better. The authorities aren’t sure what
happened, but BBC has a clear idea of what occurred. Malala was leaving school
and getting into the bus when someone suddenly shot her. I had predicted
something like that happening to Malala as I read the article before this one.
This girl was letting the world know about everything these people were doing,
and they would eventually find out.
She knew that there was a high chance something
bad would happen to her. But, despite the risk, she still stood up for all the
women in Pakistan and in the world. She couldn’t tolerate the idea that she
wouldn’t be able to receive an education because she was a woman. I can relate
to this girl because I am also a girl, and sometimes I feel as if I am seen
inferior because of my sex. I hope she recovers and can continue doing magical
things that will help this world become a better place.
