    Malala was born in Pakistan on July 12, 1997. When she was young, Taliban fighters took over her hometown. Taliban is an extremist(极端主义) group that does not believe in a girl's right to education. They said girls should not be allowed to go to school. Malala thought that girls have the right to an education. In 2008, she spoke out against the Taliban. The Taliban tried to silence her.

"Congratulations on your graduation," McClain said. "For so many, higher education is the start of great things.
