When the Pakistani government regained control, Malala was able to return to class. She continued to blog and speak up for girls’ right to education. But on October 9, 2017, the Taliban tried to silence her. A gunman boarded her school bus and shot her on the left side of her forehead. Malala survived, and showed great courage and optimism during her long recovery. During this time, she became a symbol of the struggle for girls’ rights all over the world.

　　Now, Malala has also become an international symbol of peace. Each year, the Nobel Prize honors excellent people in medicine, literature, chemistry, promoting peace, and other fields. It is one of the highest honors in the world. Malala and Satyarthi will split the award of $1.1 million.

　　Malala’s mission for peace is unstoppable. Nine months after she was shot, she gave a famous speech at the United Nations. “They thought that the bullets would silence us. But they failed,” she said. “And then, out of that silence came thousands of voices ... Weakness, fear and hoplessness died. Strength, power, and courage was born.”
