First of all I'm sorry I haven't written in a while, and I'll try to be more regular from now on.
I recently read I Am Malala, the story of Malala, the Pakistani girl who stood up for education and was shot by the Taliban. I was literally glued to the book as I got closer to the end; I refused to put the book down for anything! It was a very understandable and moving book. Malala only cared about making sure everyone could learn, and knew how to value her own education. She did everything she could to continue her education, no matter what impediments were put in her path. She snuck into boys schools when girls were stopped from going to school. She got a teacher to teach her in her own house when it became too dangerous to go to schools anymore. She spoke out whenever she could and did all she could to help the victims of bombings. In short, she had a really good perspective on what was right and wrong, and a firm belief for what she would have to do to achieve her goals.
I think we should learn from her. People can gain so many good qualities from her. Mind you, I'm not saying she's perfect, or the best. I'm just saying that she has some really important things that can be learnt from, like having those clearly thought out goals to work towards. They can even be simpler things like not giving up when there are obstacles in your path or encouraging others to do better. These are only some of the things that can be learnt from her. She's courageous, straightforward and strong-minded; she likes helping others. SO keep that in mind.
Another thing I saw in this book- she knew how to value her education. This is specially for all you people who hate school out there. You're really lucky. Stop for one second to think about all those people who are too poor to study or aren't allowed to. It's only when you stop going to school, stop studying, or stop learning will you ever learn how important it was. And you should probably hope it doesn't come to that. All you need to do is one simple thing- value your education.
Maybe you can find some great things to learn from in the next book you read, fictional or not. And that's all I have to say. Have a great day.
