Malala Yousafzai Is Finding Her Way

I survived the Taliban attack when I was 15 years old. One bullet hit me on the left side of my forehead. I was defined as a brave, courageous activist who stood up to the Taliban. The flashbacks of the attack came back many years later. That was really painful to process.

I was introduced to therapy. changed everything for me. Today I'm thinking about all the children in the world who are denied the right to an education, who are living under wars, whose schools are being bombed, and I just wish that no other child is attacked, no other child faces a bullet for simply wanting to be in school. It's hard to process, but all you can think about is the hope that humanity has. I just think about the immense love, the support that I have received from people and think less about a few who spread hatred.
