Malala Yousafzai
Malala was just a small town girl wanting the right to get an education for herself and everyone else in the world. Then, one morning on the school bus, which was driving to the school that she longed for knowledge at, a Taliban member shot her in the head. However the bullet ricocheted into her shoulder. Then, Malala was rushed to a hospital, where she received all of the care that she needed to survive. Today, Yousafzai is continuing her legacy and has written a book, gone on television, spoke with the United Nations, written a blog that she continues to write on, and continuosly attends school in London, where she is now living for safety of the Taliban.
