Malala discusses within this book her love for learning and going to school. School became her refuge as the rest of her city was overrun by the Taliban. She explains that she would look forward to school because it was a place of learning and she didn't have to worry about any outside problems. As the Taliban does not support women's education Malala and her friends were forced to hide their school books under their shawls. Although this was very dangerous, she and her friends did not care because they wanted to learn. This is one of the primary reasons that Malala has now devoted her life to supporting women's education. I think that her and her friends eagerness towards learning is remarkable. In the US we take education for granite whereas these girls must work hard for it.
