Malala’s Yousafzai struggles and hardships throughout her teenage life show every college student they can fight for what they believe in and to never give up when times get hard. The bravery that she exhibited through it all showed me that no matter what you are going through and the obstacles that are thrown in your way you can always overcome them, and by overcoming those trials and tribulations you become a greater person because of it.
