I want poverty to end in tomorrow's Pakistan. I want every girl in Pakistan to go to school.
I don't want to be remembered as the girl who was shot. I want to be remembered as the girl who stood up.
I raise my voice not so that i can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard
read thousands of books and I will power myself with knowledge. Pens and books are the weapons that defeat terrorism.
