I published a new memoir.

And I'm not scared of dogs anymore.

Yeah, so so much has changed in my life.

Yes.

How have you been?

Yeah, you know, I thought I was supposed to live my life a certain way.

It's, you know, it's quite rare to be called a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and an education activist when you are still a teenager.

And I thought it means that I have to live a perfect life now.

I have to be a perfect daughter, a perfect person.

I cannot get anything wrong.

and that I'm supposed to know the answer to everything in my life, that I can't make mistakes.

But I realized that, you know, that was not the true me, that I didn't have to sacrifice friendship and so much of my normal life.

So when I went to college, that's when I changed everything.

Because at school, you know, at this high school in the UK, I struggled to make friends.

By the end of my high school, I had only made one friend, and that's because she fell out with her best friend.

I was brought to the UK for my treatment, and then I had to adjust to a new life.

So in college, I said, you know what?

I want to do this differently.

I signed up for every club and every society because I wanted to meet as many students as possible so that I could make some friends.

And I had signed up for the Pakistan society and Christian society, Hindu society, Muslim society.
