A young girl named Malala, born in 1997 in the northwest of Pakistan, is famous for supporting children and women on the education. In 2012, she was shot and seriously injured when she returned home on the school bus.
Luckily, she was sent to the hospital in time and saved. After that, she went back to school and began to strive (奋斗) for children and women to receive education.
On October 10, 2014, the Nobel Piz for peace was awarded (授予) to Mala. She became the youngest winner in the history of Nobel Prize. However, Malala missed the most important event of being announced to be the winner of the prize. At the very moment, she was taking chemistry lesson in the classroom! After hearing the news, Malala chose to take her history and physics lessons as usual. She said calmly to the reporter. "I'm proud of getting this prize. Although the unforgettable date itself means something to me, it's more important to finish the rest lessons today. After all, it's a normal school day.
One year later, Amy Mainzer, an astronomical scientist of NASA, found a new planet. She named it "Malala".
When Amy Mainzer was interviewed by Times, she explained, "I think Malala has set an example for us. She is fearless and sticks to helping children and women get the right of being educated. Nothing can stop her." At the age of 20, Malala passed the entrance examination of Oxford University through her hard work.
Before she finished her high school, she had written a book I am Malala. She said, "I hope the readers around the world have chances to read my book. My dream is that more and more people will realize it is extremely difficult for children and women in some areas to get education. Actually, my story is also the story of 61 million children. Every boy and every girl should have the right to go to school."
