THE PERSON THAT I ADMIRE

Malala is a civil rights activist, especially for women in Pakistan's Swat River Valley, where the Taliban regime has banned girls from attending school. Her ideals led her to be shot in the head as she was returning home from school by bus in the town of Mingora. Far from backing down, the young woman took her struggle to a global level. Her work led to her being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014. At only seventeen years of age, she became the youngest person to receive this award. She is a great example of overcoming and constant struggle, that is why I admire her.
