I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai and Christina Lamb is a powerful book of Malala's life story. This book begins with a beautiful account of her childhood, with fond memories of her home, the gorgeous Swat Valley, in which she lived, and her beloved school. This novel also gives readers insight into the Pashtun culture and daily life. Malala is named after Malalai, a powerful Pashtun woman who changed the face of war with her powerful poetry. Malala's father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, played a significant role in shaping Malala's personality. He went against his cultural tradition and celebrated the birth of his beloved daughter, Malala. Her father is a champion of girls’ education; he is a woman’s rights advocate. He embraces democracy with passion and believes that every child in this world should be educated, especially women. Malala was born in 1997, as her father was struggling to establish his school against a deeply corrupt government and a mufti (a Muslim scholar) who opposed the education of girls. Inspired by her father words, Malala absorbed her father’s ideals and develope...
Crossing the Return Threshold: Being born again, “return is described as a coming back out of that yonder zone” (Campbell, 188). For Malala, this is a very crucial and important stage in her journey. Campbell writes the purpose of this stage is to convey to the community the wisdom gained from Apotheosis. For Malala, this stage gave her the determination to continue speaking out against the Taliban and the desire to silence all women and to take away their rights. Malala strongly believed in her rights, the right to speak up, to go to school and be heard. Malala gave her first speech in September 2008 in Peshawar, Pakistan. Much to the Taliban's surprise. A speech named "How dare the Taliban take my basic right to education”. Not only had she survived the assassination attempt but she made a full recovery and continued her crusade to speak up for many women that are under the Taliban regime. Malala like many in the journey took her fight for justice to the world. She at the age of 16 gives a speech at the United Nations. She also wrote her autobiography relating her journey so far. From a small town in Pakistan to gaining the attention of the world, no doubt Malala has been a hero to many. Her community has no doubt benefited from her strength and courage. One of Malala’s quotes serves as a one-sentence inspiration, “One child, one teacher, one
Trying to make the world a better place, you would think would be coming from adults but most of it is coming from teens. These teens are called teen activists. I think that the good things they are doing, are for someone else, not themselves. The first reason is, Hannah Taylor, she created the Ladybug Foundation for people who don't have a home. She wasn’t doing that to draw attention to herself. She was doing it because she thought homelessness was completely wrong.The second reason is Angela Zhang “found a potential cure for cancer.” (CBS News) She wasn’t doing it to show off. Alex Scott had a lemonade stand and the money she raised, she gave to her hospital and didn’t keep it for herself. The thing they all have in common is that they are just good people. Those are the good things about all the teen activist I researched.
Teen activists are inspiring and helpful. They are the ones who are determined to make a difference in the world. They are the ones who never give up on their dreams and hopes. Through their thoughts, sacrifice, determination, and their inspiring heart, they make the world happy, so everyone can live equally. Three teen activists, Malala Yousafzai, Alex Lin, and Iqbal Masih, use their personalities and inspiration so that they can stop unfair education, pollution, and child labor. They are willing to sacrifice to help the world and change history.
Over three million people have signed her petition, and if this is going this well, Malala will have no problem check this goal off her of do's. Did you know that nearly seventy million children around the world today that cannot get the primary education they need and more than half are girls. ("10 Facts You Don't Know About Girls' Education") This is the reason why Malala Yousafzai is fighting for the rights of education. She wants every child, and every being to be education, at least in a primary stand point. Malala is gaining back life to the world by just using her voice and it is changing the world! She has everything she needs to start the rise of education to all people, such as funding, petition, her voice of reason. For example, according to her speech given to the UN Youth Takeover in 2013, it states in her speech that, " Dear brothers and sisters, we want schools and education for every child's bright future. We will continue our journey to our destination of peace and education for everyone. No one can stop us. We will speak for our rights and we will bring change through our voice. We must believe in the power and the strength of our words. Our words can change the world."

Videos, books, medias, news, etc. Malala has been heard all around the world by her persuasive speech and everyone wants to be part of the life changing event!

...eaving Malala’s only choice to stand up for her beliefs. Doing so left her in the hospital with greater expectations for herself in the future. The Talibans continue to make their impact as well, dangering many innocent people. But even today, Malala still speaks out against the Talibans and stresses her and every female’s rights and opportunities.
“I dream of a country where education would prevail” (Malala Yousafzai). Education around the world has begun to be overlooked more and more each year; women’s education especially. Fighting to learn is one of the many problems women face each day, additionally it does not help when the opportunity to be educated is not given to over 6 million teenage girls alone. The women that are confident enough to stand up and fight for schooling are usually respected. Being one of the very few people in Pakistan who fought for better teachings, Malala is now well respected in many countries. Malala Yousafzai (Yoo-saff-zay) was shot by the Taliban in 2012; after a long recovery, she miraculously advocates for education around the world.
Teen activists fight for something they believe in And every teen activist does it in a different way. For example Malala Yousafzai fights for women’s education rights by speaking out for her cause.She began her mission after her education was taken from her. There are other ways to fight for what you believe in. Alex Lin an environmental activist began to take charge when he realized that e-waste is destroying the environment is one of these people who fight in a different way. According to Takepart, Alex takes action to help his cause and does manual labor like collecting E-waste or refurbishing old computers. Although taking action is a great way to solve a problem most teen activists seem to use

Well, Malala also won the Nobel Peace Prize, and spoke up for her rights. She got shot in the head because she spoke so strongly for rights to be able to go to school legally. Yes, she did write a blog under an anonymous name, as a type of silent protest, but she later revealed who she was. This whole thing all started with her father suggesting that she be the one to write a blog for BBC, but has escalated into something more well voiced. Malala Yousafzai started the Malala Fund and on her 18th birthday opened a school near the Syrian border that can hold more than 200 girls living in informal camps. So, Malala Yousafzai has done so much more than just writing a blog. (“Malala Yousafzai Deserve the Nobel Peace
Next I will be talking about Malala and what she is fighting for, then Craig Keilburger, and I will end it all with Faye Carey. Malala Yousafzai is one teen activist who fights for girls education.

A big question asked amongst people sometimes is “Can a teenager make a difference, and if they do is it positive?” a lot of people just brush it off sometimes and think that because they’re young and don’t have the same experience as some older people, they are bound to make mistakes. This is not always the case, as some teens can make a difference, whether it be in large scale that affects the world or in a smaller scale affecting the community or society. There are a couple kids that have make a difference, although some of the things they have done might be greater compared to others, they still have made a difference in where they live and the people in their communities.
