Malala Yousafzai

Yeah.

I mean, it was more like textbook English.

Textbook English is very different than what people actually speak.

A hundred percent.

I became very like self-conscious.

Of course.

Even if like somebody is like looking at you, you know, we all look at each other and we all just think sometimes like, you know, what is that person actually looking at right now?

Yes, of course.

And usually they're not, but we just think that way.

Yeah.

But I think at school, yes, I was very self-conscious and I was thinking about the facial nerve damage on the left side because of the bullet.

And I just thought like maybe, you know, I just was hesitating even to smile because I now had like a crooked smile and I was... Malala, when I had acne, I didn't want to go to school.

Yeah.

I mean, I just thought maybe at 15, this is where I'm supposed to be at these UN conferences, bilateral meetings with world leaders advocating for girls' education, running a foundation.

Yeah.

I just thought maybe this is how my life is supposed to look like.

That's all I'll have.

And to be honest—

Yes, I wanted all of it.

I wanted to be a normal student at the same time.
