And supposedly that's how the story goes, that the soldiers fight back and she loses her life at that battle.

So the name of Malalai of Maiwan, so she's a heroine from Afghanistan, is very famous in our Pashtun community.

The actual literal meaning of the name is grief-stricken or sad, but we don't go with that.

We just go with the good meaning.

I was just imagining that battle happening today.

And this is a battle that we are fighting for children to have access to education.

We're not fighting through swords.

We're not fighting through weapons.

This is a fight through books and pens.

And we want every child to have the opportunity to be able to go to school.

So this is different.

And my goal is that, you know, the soldiers of today are like all of us, all of us to come together and ensure that we help every child have access to education.

So far, I'm doing okay.

And yeah, and I, you know, my story didn't go that way.

And I'm very grateful for that.

It was in 2012 that they attempted to kill me.

It wasn't that I never pictured it.

I had pictured it many times that this could happen.

I had pictured it at school.

I had pictured it in my school bus.
