I think there is more to it than just school. It's about the ability to learn, to see new perspectives, and gain knowledge. You can do it by taking different classes at school, workshops, community outreach, traveling, or even just reading.

I have always wished I could read more often because I can't really sit still and I get distracted easily. If not, I knock out. This semester, however, since I had so much time, I pushed myself to read a new book every month. I'm so happy I actually read 6 books (maybe even 2-3 if you include children's books lol) within 4-5 months because that's rare for me.
This is the last and my most favorite book that I've read while I was in Thailand.

I am so moved and inspired by this intelligent, and strong girl who believed in children's rights, and education. Most of all, I loved her father who supported her. I've never sat still trying to finish a book because it was THAT good. Reading this book made me realize how ignorant I am. I honestly never heard of Malala, and I never knew much about Pakistan, even though things like this happened last year and still continue to do so up to this day. It made me realize how I have to keep an open eye and ears about the world outside of my own. Read more, education more, challenge more, learn more, watch more, and listen more.
<3 I love you, Malala. You are the bravest of them all. Speak for your rights, and speak for others. You have been a dire inspiration to young women like us all. Whether your own people have said things against you, keep doing what you're doing because the rest of the world has your back.
