Fighting for Education no matter its Cost- Malala's Essay

“I don’t mind if I have to sit on the floor at school. All I want is education and I’m afraid of no one”

Usually when we talk about school and education, we think about our daily lives as students or teachers, arriving to class every day, bringing with us our books and notebooks, the teachers with new ways of presenting and explaining new topics because there are days when you don’t have the attitude or interest to do something, but in Pakistán days are not like that for everyone, they have another culture and ideologies that prohibits women going to school, so they appreciate very much what we DO have.

Malala was born in Swat and through all her life she had to face lots of obstacles and problems that made impossible for her the right of studying. She and her father broke lots of paradigms and problems making possible for other girls and women apply their right of education. In spite of their effort, the Talibanes didn’t doubt in threatening and wanting to kill them. Even though she knew about the risks and dangers that her movement brought, she kept forward with the education’s promotion, transforming into the voice of each women and girls that can’t defend themselves or go to school with no danger at all.

This was a total challenge because she had to be really precautious with everything she did and said, because with just a simple strange movement it could’ve gone all wrong. Malala wanted us to realize how important education is in our lives, so if we do have the opportunity to study, let’s take advantage of it. Education is the greatest thing we can have, with it we can solve almost every problem because you know about it and there is no written thing where it says someone should not study, so we have to speak up for our rights that we are given since we’re born.

Now she is fighting for everyone in bigger projects so religion, culture or anything can’t take away that right from you no matter if you are a girl, a boy, Muslim, Jew, catholic, Asian, because we deserve a good life full of knowledge and experience.
