It did not come easy...
Malala is a hero but a hero often go through
struggles and encounter many road blocks on the
way up. Malala faced criticism, challenges,
obstacles throughout her journey. A person once
said that her encounter with the gun man was fake
and her being shot was just a made up story when
there is acceptable proof that those events did in
fact happen. Despite all of the things that are
thrown at her, she remains strong in the mind and
the body knowing what she is doing is right.
"They only shot a body
But they cannot shoot my
Dreams"
