Malala: One Courageous Voice We All Need to Listen to

Malala Yousafzal is fourteen years old and lies unconscious in a hospital room with a bullet wound to her head.
Taliban militants targeted this beautiful, delicate little girl for death. They stopped her school bus filled with giggling girls on their way to class in Pakistan. They boarded the bus and demanded her by name. Someone pointed her out, and a man shot her. Then he shot two other girls as they left the bus.
These men of the Taliban called little Malala obscene for wanting to go to school. For speaking out publicly about wanting to go to school, they condemned her to die.

Malala wrote about her fears, but also of her hopes to become a doctor someday
