I Am Malala

    I Am Malala tells the story of a fifteen year old girl who survived a point-blank shot from a member of the Taliban. The only reason that Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head was because she is the daughter of a man who stood up to the Taliban. Malala herself was (and is) a fearless supporter of women's education all over the world. It was only through this tragic occasion that she had the opportunity to share her passion for education globally. After a miraculous recovery in a Birmingham hospital, Malala became a strong representative figure for the United Nations. I Am Malala is an awe inspiring account of Malala's fearless pride in her beliefs.

    This story made me realize how fortunate we are, here in more peaceful parts of the world. Our country stands for equality and many freedoms that girls like Malala can only dream of. While we cannot change what's happening half way around the world, we can certainly appreciate what we have here.
