Teen Returns to School by Sylvie Lednicky
For the first time in five months, Pakistani teenager Malala Yousafzai has been able to return to school. She was shot by the Taliban because she campaigned for girl's education. Now she goes to school in England, where she was treated for her gunshot wound. I'm glad that she lived, now she can be a symbol and a reminder of what is going on in the world, and that education is a privilege, not a burden. Congrats, Malala!
