Malala Yousafzai, international icon, right to education activist and the youngest person to have received the Nobel Peace Prize, tells an inspiring story of what it was like to grow up in a region torn by war and yet, seeing the magic of hope everywhere he looked. When Malala was a child in Pakistan she wanted to have a magic pencil. I would use it to: -put a latch on your door; so her brothers couldn't bother her. -stop time to sleep for an extra hour every morning. -erase the smell of the garbage dump that was near your house. But, over time, his world changed, and so did his desires. Her right to go to school was threatened...simply because she was a girl. Instead of a magic pencil, Malala took a real one. Alone in her room, she wrote about the challenges she faced, but her words reached people around the world.
