The Girl Chosen as One of the Most Influential People in 2013

   I read this month's issue of the magazine Time. It portrayed the 100 most influential people in the world. Ordering the time magazine and having read it for about two years, I always looked closely into the issue in which it depicted the 100 most influential people in the world. Time had the knack to intrigue me by describing each figure in a narrative voice. It provided an insight as to why each person was selected and how they paved a way in their field, forestalling obstacles which came along their way. 
    The Pakistani girl was chosen this year for her unprecedented and courageous conduct. She began blogging for the BBC's Urdu Site when she was eleven years old. On the site, she wrote how much she wanted to become a doctor and her conviction to withstand the Taliban 's wanton interception of her getting a decent education to eventually realize her future goal. 
Unfortunately, when she became fifteen, she was shot in the head by the Taliban that wanted  to teach anyone a lesson: Anyone who defies against their rule will be punished. 
    Luckily, she survived the Taliban attack and resuscitated to go back to school where she belonged. She ultimately became a national symbol for courage and willpower. She showed other kids that if you really want something, you should never give up, even though that means sacrificing your life for it. Easily said than done, people sometimes should remember this clause, "Don't ask what the nation could do for you; ask what you could do for the nation"
