A famous person to stand up for their rights about homework
Most students would rather not go to school if they had the
chance to pick but that was not the case with Malala Yousafzai. In 2009 Malala started to write
a blog with her Dad for the BBC about what her student life was like growing up
and learning in Pakistan for a girl. Even through Malala and her Dad received many
threats concerning their lives, all they ever did was speak the truth about her
life. In 2011 Malala was awarded “Pakistan’s first national youth peace prize”
this lead her into lots of trouble with the Taliban leaders and they voted to
have her killed. This is crazy to think about; the Taliban’s were so worried
about a kid speaking about school that they wanted to kill her.
On the 9th of October 2012, there vote nearly came through.
Malala and her friends were traveling home from school when their bus got
stopped by a masked gunman, they shot Malala with one bullet to the brain, the
bullet also went through her neck and shoulder. She was not the only one that
was injured in the shooting two of her friends were also injured during it. Malala
somehow survived the shooting and she was only allowed to leave hospital in January
2013. This shooting rocked the world and even changed a right in Pakistan. The right
was “to free and compulsory education”
