So of all of my blog posts recently, this is by far the most important.
Let's talk about this girl
This is Malala Yousafzai.
Late last year, she was on her way to school, when her bus got attacked by the Taliban. She was shot because she was trying to obtain an education, and by the rules of the Taliban, that is not appropriate.
She was taken to hospital in England in October and I've been following her progress ever since. You'd think that when the world's most oppressive, dangerous group had you on their hit-list, you'd lie low. But for Malala this isn't about her life, its about the enrichment of the lives of women everywhere. She has been speaking with world leaders trying to inspire change in her nation and I am so proud to live on the earth at the same time as her.
What an incredible force for good. I firmly believe that God sends people on this earth to counteract the evil that exists, and she is absolutely one of them.
Today she turns 16. I have honestly never been so inspired by one person in such a short amount of time.
Happy Birthday Malala!!!
And Thank You.
