Yousafzai And Malala

Decent Essays
I view Yousafzai and RaSia Khepra as my role models because of how much they've done for their communities at a young age, I also find them to be relatable to me.. Malala speaks out about issues concerning young girls and gives them strength which is why I have chosen her because of her own strength and courage to s fight for her beliefs even though her beliefs almost had her killed. RaSia understands what it is like to lose someone close to you, but he is able to transform his grief into something more powerful by giving back to the community and speaking about the issues that caused him to lose someone
