"books and pencils are our most powerful weapons"
Education is more powerful than a gun
"I don't mind is I have to sit on the floor at school"
No matter what happens, Malala wants an education
"for those without voice"
Malala speaks for those girls who can't stand up for themselves and for those who need help.
It is not fair for only a limit of children to go to school. Malala's story makes me feel thankful because I get an education while other have to work and clean. I can be a part in helping others get an education by donating money to them.
