Isn't it strange how the smallest of things we take for granted, is the same thing someone else is starving for?
I have been reminded by one girl who lives for one goal, one dream, and one purpose. From her, I have delved into the world of deprivation that millions of girls face, still today. This is not the 20th century anymore, but in some places it appears it still is.
I am 15, the exact age Malala was when she was attacked for standing up for girls' education. From this point in my life, and where she is with hers, it is a disappointing fact that my achievments are half as precious as hers.
Just in this past week, I am half way through her autobiography, and every interview she has done. I am deeply compelled to be better to myself, to my peers, to my elders. I am humbled by her life and her accomplishments, and will continue to pursue a more fullfilling life. Malala, thank you for reminding
me of life's humble beginnings and the joys of life.
