Malala Day 2013

I haven't written in a really long time, almost a year. I have been overly busy and I just didn't keep up with the blog! But I was just thinking of Malala, the reason why I started this page, and it reminded me of an amazing opportunity I had this summer, to see her. Malala spoke at the United Nations in July, her first speech after her terrible attack. I was blessed with the opportunity to sit in that general assembly and listen to her amazingly inspirational speech. That weekend was legitimately a life changing event. I not only saw her, but I met the former prime minister, Gordon Brown. I would not have changed this experience for anything. Although it was more than 2 months ago I am still in shock. Malala is such an inspiration, I am truly thankful that I had this phenomenal experience. A BIG thanks to Girl Scouts for getting me there, without the support from them this would have never happened. This is a picture of Gordon Brown and I, one of my favorites :)
