Welcome back to the program, Malala Yousafzai. I feel better already.
Oh, thank you. Thank you so much.
It's been a rough day. Where's... What's your take on humanity these days? Pro or again? Where do you... Where do you have us?
Well, it is really a tragic news what happened. And I have seen these kinds of situations in my life when there's no justice, when there's no human feeling, when there's no humanity. And for a second, you think that no one has feelings at all, but our prayers are with the families and we pray for peace. We pray for the prosperity of everyone.
It's interesting, you said something in the film, which is one voice. And there are many voices. And I think the easy thing to forget is how easy it is for darkness to wreak havoc and to forget we're really much more surrounded by light and by education. Now, are you still in school?
Yes, I had just my exams, GCSE exams. I don't know what you call it.
The GSE, is it, are you in college? Are you in high school?
I have still two years to college.
Still two years until college?
Yes.
You might want to work on your resume because a lot of colleges now are really, you may get very good test scores. I'm not in any way saying that you're not going to get good test scores, but you also need some extracurriculars. Within that, I mean, the Peace Prize is going to get you so good, but there is...
No, I had thought about it. I'm going to have like work experience for a week and get good grades. I had one month exam and I have worked so hard.
Wait, how long?
One month.
The exam was a month long?
One month, totally. 12th of May till 12th of June.
For school? Yes. Can I tell you what our schools do here in America? Would they take I think it's like a half a day of tests and then they show Akilah in the B the rest of the week Which is just I wish I was here. No It's interesting when I watch the film You can't help but in some ways the world has been somewhat unfair to you in that it has placed a burden upon you that I think is that you are somehow an ethereal creature that must save us. And I think what's nice about the film is to see you as, you see yourself as, look, I'm an ordinary girl, maybe representing thousands and thousands of ordinary girls whose courage is the same in Pakistan and all over the world as they just try for an education.
Is that how you feel about it?
I think I have this opportunity to raise my voice, and I believe that I'm not representing only myself, but I am speaking up for all girls who are deprived of education. There are about 66 million girls, and I think I'm speaking up for them. And sometimes people do think that it has been forced upon me or I haven't chosen this life, but the reality is that I have chosen this life. And if I wouldn't have liked it, I could have said no after that take and would have said, I don't want to come out and speak again. But I do feel a responsibility and I do feel that it's my duty to say what's right. And it's not that... Sometimes we wait for others and think that Martin Luther should raise among us, Nelson Mandela should raise among us and speak up for us.
But we never realize that there are normal humans like us. And if we step forward, we can also bring change just like them.
What insights does Malala Yousafzai share about education and activism?
Right. No, it's inspiring, although I have to think you have two brothers.
