Malala Yousafzai - Unstoppable
Education matters and there are some in the world willing to fight for it (or die trying).
One of those is 14-year old Malala Yousafzai from Pakistan who was shot, point-blank in head, by Taliban supporters last year because of outspoken support of education for girls. Her injuries were severe and she could have died. She was left deaf in one ear and has sight problems.
But she didn't.
And not only is she alive, she's walking and talking.
She said yesterday:
Today you can see that I am alive. I can speak, I can see you, I can see everyone and … I am getting better

I do know that many students are going to walk.
