Malala Yousafzai

One misstep and you could fall.

And I am just nodding and I laugh.

And I follow him, and it was a really scary way, making it up to the rooftop.

And on the rooftop, there's this bell tower, like the clock tower.

And that moment just felt surreal.

I just thought I had conquered something.

I was breathing in.

The fresh air, and I was looking down, just seeing some students still up at night, or the lights were still on in some rooms, and I was thinking maybe they're still trying to finish their essay, or just feeling a moment of victory.

And I was so scared that I might be kicked out of college for this, and this happening so soon.

So I was terrified that being an advocate for education and then getting in trouble and being kicked out.

What do you think it was about that that...

I think for me it was just wanting to disobey rules.

I thought I had to live up to expectations and be a certain way.

I could never get in trouble.

I thought if this is something that puts me in the cool kids category or the rebellious kids category,

I want to give it a try.

I wanted these college years to be that experience that I otherwise would never come across.

Suddenly, I was 15 years old again, lying on my back under a white sheet, a tube running down my throat, eyes closed.

For seven days, as doctors tended to my wounds, I was in a coma.

From the outside, I looked to be in a deep sleep, but inside, my mind was awake, and it played a slideshow of recent events.
