The book that I read was I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai and Patricia McCormick. It is the story of a young girl who was born in Mingora, Pakistan. She lived with her parents in the northwest Pakistan when the local Taliban had banned girls to go to school. She was 10 years old when this happened. Malala was in the top students at her school almost every year and she wasn't going to give up on her right to go to school.
She decided to continue to go to school even if she needed to take risk every morning when she walked towards the building. She was hiding her school stuff under her clothing. Malala was determinated to continue learning every day, like every guys student. Learning was a right, and she was fighting for it no matter what.

The one who inspired the most Malala's life, even if her teacher were also important, is her father. Since she is very young, she follows him everywhere. Even if it was a guy's place, her father always invited her. She was born in a guy world, that is why she wanted to be like them and to have the right to do and talk like them even if she is a girl. He was her model, and he teached her to never give up, and she did it.
Malala was very invested in making girls life brighter and easier. Equality was and is very important for her. When she left her country she continued to change the world even if her life was much better. The right of education around the world is so important for her. No matter the circumstances, she was going to continue her hard working to help all the kids in the world.
That quote proves that she doesn't want people to remember her, but her actions and how her act changed the world. The important is the impact of what she did and this is a good proof that she was invested in her
