While in Europe and North America many teenagers struggle searching for "meanings" this teenager emerges as a prototype of
promising youth.
The fifteen-year-old Pakistani teenage woman
education activist Malala Yousafzai has been discharged from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham of UK, where she was recovering from her brain injury after Taliban gunmen shot her in
the head for promoting girl's education & secularism.
According to the international media reports the doctors had said the
bullet grazed Malala's brain when it struck her just above her
left eye in the incident in Pakistan's Swat Valley at last year's October 2011. The University Hospitals Birmingham Foundation Trust said doctors
believe she will continue to make good progress outside the hospital. Malala's love for education, and her courage to stand up against Taliban made
her an symbol of bravery and earned her a national peace award in 2011. Malala became to prominence and famous when, as an 11-year-old, she wrote a diary for
BBC Urdu, giving an account of how her school in Mingora town dealt
with the Taliban's 2009 edict to close girl's schools.
Dave Rosser,
medical director at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, said Malala had
“continued to make great progress in her treatment”, according to a
statement. Teenage Malala will undergo re-constructive surgery in late January or early February at her family's temporary home in the West Midlands
.
She is now likely to secure permanent residence in the UK after her
father was granted a job with the Pakistani consulate in Birmingham. Mr Yusufzai who is the father of Malala and his daughter Malala have had threats made against their lives by the Taliban since the brutal attack which sparked domestic and international outrage against the terrorist labelled group Taliban.
