Even though we are the same age, but she is my hero—Malala Yousefzai. I am 29 years old and feel like I have known who Malala is and the amazing things she has done for most of my life. I remember hearing about this girl who was shot for wanting to go to school, seeing her on the news, and thinking how lucky I am. Malala helped me feel grateful for a life that was very hard at times, but also was very joyful. She won the Nobel Peace prize and graduated from Oxford. Not that I had those aspirations, I felt proud of her knowing all her struggles to get there.
I think about could I have survived what she has and overcome so many obstacles, to achieve such greatness? To me Malala is the ultimate girl heroine.
