Teenage rights activist
Malala Yousafzai told an audience in New York
on Oct. 10 last year that she would like to become prime minister of Pakistan
to “save” the country.
In an interview with CNN’s
Christiane Amanpour at a sold-out public event, she also said on Oct. 11 last
year that winning the Nobel Peace Prize would be a “great honor.”
Asked about her conflicting
dreams of becoming a doctor or a politician, and whether she would like to
become premier, Malala said she wanted to help her homeland.
“I want to become a prime
minister of Pakistan,”
she told Amanpour to cheers from the audience.
“I think it’s really good
because through politics I can save my whole country,” she added.
“I can spend much of the
budget on education and I can also concentrate on foreign affairs.”
Malala was shot in the head
by the Pakistani Taliban on Oct. 9, 2012, for speaking out against them,
demanding that girls have the right to go to school.
She was flown to Britain for
specialist care and made a remarkable recovery, going on to become a global
ambassador for children’s rights.
The 16-year-old has written
an autobiography, addressed the UN and set up the Malala Fund.

In my opinion,Malala is a brave girl. Although she is only 16 years old,she fights for the right to go to school.With Malala's efforts, more and more people pay attention to this issue.I hope that children around the world can have the right to go to school one day.
回覆刪除Malala is so brave a girl.Although she was was shot in the head by the Pakistani Taliban in 2012, she doesn't give up devoting herself to promoting education around the world . Therefore, We should study harder because we have the right to learn.
