This 17-year-old girl won the Nobel Peace Prize!
Malala Yousafzai a 17- year old from Pakistan made history when she became the youngest winner of the Nobel Peace Prize - a prize for people with outstanding works.
Malala was only 11 when she first started speaking out for girls’ right to education.
When she was 12 some men tried to assassinate her.
They wanted her to stop fighting for girls to get educated. But she didn’t and the experience however made her stronger, fearless and more determined.
When she received the prize she had the following to say
"This is really an encouragement for me to go forward and believe in myself. It is a good thing to know that there are people who support me. We are standing together."
"I am thankful to my father for not clipping my wings; for letting me fly and achieve my goals. For showing the world that a girl is not supposed to be 'the slave.”
Malala’s father Ziauddin Yousafzai said he hoped the award would help girls' rights everywhere.
Like Malala you can stand for something today. You can become an example for other young girls to follow.
People will try to scare you from following your dreams. They will try to make you feel like you are not meant to achieve big things.
Don’t let their actions hold you down.
Because girl you are much more than what they think. You are a super star
You can achieve whatever you want.
All you need is to believe in yourself, be determined and work towards it
Like Malala look for a trusted adult that can mentor you or guide you.

Hey Ahneeka! Thanks for the comment.
Being a girl is a beautiful thing and a beautiful feeling to embrace. As a girl u are,see your self as a super hero,super star and a bright light meant to shine for others to see,u need not to feel intimidated by anybody just stand upright and doing in your dealings with the world let them see the positive side of you!!! Together let's make the world know we are first class citizen not the other way round let's speak up for ourselves and not to let others do it for us... we are female ,let's make things happen lets make rules for others to follow

Nice dear
Yes i do. Her name is stephenie and people call her a lot of things . The boys say she is playing hard to get, the girls say she acts holier than thou but no one really knows her like i do. At a young age she was not good at anything and was always laughed at (among other things) but she kept trying and now she is good at lots of things and she keeps saying to me, no matter how bad ur story is, no matter where u come from give ur best at everything, believe in urself and let ur failure be ur motivation to success. I believe her. She wants to be a doctor but things are not exactly going as planned, i see her struggle everyday to give her best and that is where i draw my inner strength, from her. To me, she is the kind of person who believes in the sun even though it doesn't shine. I know, cause we are friends.

Wow Diana! Your friend Stephenie is the definition of a Springster. We haven't met her yet but we are so inspired by her courage, zeal and her hard work. We will appreciate if you invite her to Springster so that she can read and meet with other strong Springsters like her. Thanks a lot for sharing this and tell Stephenie that big sister sends her love.

Hey HONEY! Thanks for the comment. A guy that uses a girl for her money and is proud to say it will also use you for another thing. This guy is not loyal and you definitely deserve better. For him to say that he was using Uju for her money means that he will also use you for something. You have to be extremely careful. The final decision is up to you to make. We hope this helps
thanks.u are one in town mummy
Big sis, i didn't know any one like malala, but i am proud to say that i am like malala, i love fighting for girl's right, i always join any group related to girls,women and children
