Research Paper On Malala
During the summer break one of Xavier's required reading included I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban. As I read Malala's struggle towards seeking education for not only herself but for others, I realized how fortunate and privileged I truly am to have the opportunity to attend All Saints' Episcopal Day School and now Xavier College Preparatory. I never had to stumble in order to receive an education. From reading Malala's story, I realized that the most meaningful part of my Xavier education is, of course, receiving the education itself, especially with rigorous classes, variety of clubs, and the Xavier community by my side. My teachers are a vital component of my education. Without them, there is no reason to attend Xavier. In Mr. Cosden's honors English II class, I have learned so much already! His class is one of the most challenging that I have taken. His kindness, brilliant mind, and curiosity is an inspiration to me. As I continue to learn from him this year, I hope to be just as smart as him someday. My Chinese teacher, Ms. Chen (aka Lao Shi) is such a sweet, patient, and caring teacher. Her class is the reason why I …show more content…
Overall, Xavier's curriculum is excellent. As I treasure everything technology oriented, I am especially grateful that Xavier requires sophomores to learn the basics computer programming. I am determined to develop my computer programming knowledge. Therefore, it is astounding that Xavier also offers AP Computer Science, AP Computer Science Principles, and a Mobile App Development elective! Not only does Xavier provide computer programming related electives, electives such as 3-D printing and prototyping, maker class, and robotics are offered. I desire to learn from all these electives (or at least as many as possible) during my next years at Xavier. Someday, I hope to accumulate all of my knowledge to create something to help people one

    Being a young, teenage girl in Swat Valley, Pakistan, Malala enjoyed going to school, but the safety and availability of schooling was facing a dearth once the Taliban merged in and began terrorizing schools. One day on the way to school and being held hostage by the Taliban, Malala recollects in her interview that she stood and confidently stated, “Then I would tell him [Talib] how important education is and I even want education for his children as well and I will tell him that’s what I wanted to tell you, now do what you want” (Stewart n.p.). Malala’s love and passion from school extended so far as going into confrontation with the Taliban and risking her life just to ensure and declare her rights and the rights of her fellow, female classmates to education and schooling. Malala’s efforts in expressing feminism and ensuring equal rights for girls in Swat Valley and all over the planet expanded to a point of global attention and international charities and foundations. When asked by John Stewart why she did not wait for political or humanitarian support to cease this conflict, Malala boldly rationalizes, “At that time I said why should I wait for someone else? Why should I be looking to the government, to…

    My name is Grace Arvesen and I am currently a sophomore at Marist High School. When I think of great teachers, although I’ve had many, one comes to mind right away. Her name is Colleen Biszewski and was my 7th and 8th grade math and science teacher at Queen of Martyrs School. Not only did Mrs. Biszewski prepare us academically, but she helped us practice good Christian values. In addition, she was accessible for all students, treating everyone with fairness.…

    Claudette and Malala heroically stood up for their injustices in the community. Claudette didn’t get up knowing the backlash she could get for not being oppressed by a “superior”. Malala got up that morning knowing that she probably wouldn’t return home that day. I feel like these women knew the risk but fought for their rights that had been taking like they were a child on punishment this why I nominate these for this essay.…

    When the bus driver realized what had happened, he drove the bus straight to the hospital. Someone notified Malala's father, and he rushed to the hospital after delivering a speech. He had always believed the Taliban would come for him, but he realized that they had gone after Malala because they knew that if they targeted her, they would break him too. Many other people, including Madam Maryam, showed up to the hospital as well. The other two girls who had been injured by bullets in the shooting were also in the…

    For my entire life of schooling, both my parents and I would agree that I constantly complained about the educational systems in which I was enrolled. But when I actually take the time to think about everything I have been through, I realize that I have indeed had an excellent education. My schooling was full of opportunities and experiences, all of which contributed to the person I am today; adequate education has been an indispensable facet of my being. Sadly, not everyone has had this same privilege. And now as a college student, I am becoming even more aware of this sad fact. Looking around me in such a diverse city as Chicago, I find myself being more and more grateful. When I read Jonathan Kozol's Fremont High School, this these feelings were even more reassured.…

    On the night I shared the news of my nomination as one of EIU’s 2016 Top Black Achievers with my family, my younger cousin, Diana, sent me a message saying, “Congratulations. I aspire to be as great as you. You literally inspire me to try hard to be successful.” To which I responded, “Aspire to be even better!” I was moved beyond expression. Diana’s words made me realize that by remaining steadfast in my quest for educational enrichment, I am also positively influencing young people who look like me and come from similar socioeconomic backgrounds. My quest for education is sending the message that not only can they reach the doors of higher education, but they can work even harder and accomplish so much more. Coming from a social climate that either indirectly or…

    One of the most inspiring stories to me is the story of Malala Youafzai. Similar in age, she is known around the world and is an icon for “courage and hope”. She’s brought to my attention the struggle for some to receive an education and its importance. I recognize that education is not something I should take for granted and therefore strive to do my best in my classes, and look for opportunities to learn in environments with students of similar interests and different backgrounds. Last summer my opportunities included, Blue Lakes Fine Arts Camp (Blue Lake, MI), Region 3 USMCJROTC Cadet Leadership Course (St. Johns, WI), and George N. Parks Drum Major Academy (North Central College Naperville, IL.) This…

    Often times we do not consider how a teacher has influenced us. Teachers influence whether we realize it or not can alter a student’s perspective on life. A great many of my previous teachers have left a lasting impression on me that will never be forgotten. I do admit there were much contentment, anguish and memorable things that directly connects me to them. Without my teachers, it is highly impossible for me to stand and be here today.…

    Tons of people tend to think that the newly used slogan “Black Lives Matter” only consists of the murders and assaults of African Americans within the past few years that whites have committed. What they do not know is that it runs extremely deep. Black Lives Matter is a unique contribution that goes beyond extrajudicial killings of Black people by police and vigilantes (About | Black Lives Matter). The black youth fear to have children because they would hate to have their child endure such things that will be discussed later. To improve such situations, black people must raise public consciousness of this injustice by the means of social media…

    The teacher that had the most impact on me was Mark Whitney. Before I came to MiraCosta college, I was in Japanese high school which I hated it. I saw some of the teachers are very unhelpful and passionless, and they did not care about me since my score was always the low group in the entire student of the same grade. They pretended to care about my, but every time I knew it was a lie. Therefore, I did not expect that much about the professors when I first came here. However, when I started taking his class the way I think changed a lot. First of all, he was passionate about teaching, which surprised me. Now, after taking so many Child Development classes I know most of the professors are very passionate and helpful for me, but at that time,…

    Every single being on this big, green Earth has a right to obtain it. The Malala Foundation is striving, and achieving, in inspiring young girls around the world to stand up and fight for their education. Women's’ education is being neglected, which is entirely unreasonable. Not only can the education of the female population around the world benefit their countries economically, it can ensure the health and well-being of the younger generations, as well as lower the infant mortality rate significantly. Like Mary Wollstonecraft stated in The Vindication of the Rights of Women, we should continue to push for rights, “till education becomes a grand national…
