Education is important to Malala because it makes her feel free to do anything she can put her mind to. Malala enjoys going to school and being one of the top students. “School remained a haven from the insanity of a city in the middle of a war.” Initially, she has been one of the smartest girls in her school for a long time.And seeing the taliban threatening to take that away from her scares her. She wants to make Pakistan a better place. “Now I knew I would have to do something. I didn’t know what it was, but I prayed to God to give me the strength and courage to make the world a better place.” Malala wants girls to have rights and be able to go to school. But a lot of us in America take getting to go to school for granted. But we all need to see that going to school is a privilege not something that is just handed to you. Learning new things is vital to Malala because it makes her feel free to be, or do anything she wants to. And that is why education is important to Malala.
