The news article about Malala was impacting. I
learned a vast amount about the Pakistani culture by reading about the life of
a girl who lives in Mingora, a town in the northwest region of the country. She
lives under the rule of the Taliban, who have changed the laws of the country
for worse. The main idea of BBC writing an article about Malala is to show the
world that there is people who stand up for what they believe is right with no
fear of what may happen.
She starts writing a blog through the BBC Urdu
about her life and what happens to people like her in Pakistan. At first, the
brave girl talks about her daily life, and how she feels coming back from
school and listening to people threatening others. But, right before leaving
for winter break, Malala faces a difficult moment because she doesn’t know if
she’ll ever come to school again. As she predicted, the Taliban demands for education
to not be offered for women anymore. At that moment, in her blog, she writes
about what these people do to her ‘Swat’ and the decision they have taken that
have affected her future. She is considered the first girl to stand up and have
a voice about her situation.
I believe she took a bold step by doing
something she thought was right: Education for women. When she started writing
more and reveals actions that Taliban is taking, she becomes worldly known and
receives many interviews. In one of those she tells BBC that when she grows up
she will create a political party that will have education as a main focus. I
believe that if she can stand up for her education, she will be able to create
a political party for the advantage of the citizens. Everyone of us should
admire this young girl and her decisions. She has won various peace awards and
has had one named after her. I was impressed by this girl’s actions, thinking
that no one I know would ever be as brave to do such thing.
Everyone
who gets to know her story would be impressed and honored to have this type of
people living in our planet. As I reached the end of the article, I read
something that emotionally destroyed me. “Malala is now
recovering in hospital after being shot in the head and neck by a Taliban
militant on Tuesday.”-BBC News. I was shocked. One of the few young girls who
stood up for her rights was shot and had a long way to recover. If her god is
with her, everything will hopefully turn out fine. No matter the consequences,
people should always take the right actions and stand up for what they believe.
