Malala Attends Oxford University; 20 Year Old Nobel Laureate's Journey So Far
New Delhi:
Ever since Nobel Peace Prize winner, Malala Yousafzai, has joined her first lectures at Oxford University on Monday (9 October 2017) twitter has not stopped for a while, even, to congratulate the 20 year old. Malala (meaning grief-stricken), shot to international fame when she was nearly killed by Taliban in 2012; an anonymous diary written by her under the pseudonym Gul Makai caught attention and she was only 11 years old. In October 2012, 15 years old then, she was shot in head by Taliban gunman. After the nearly fatal attack her crusade for girls’ education got a global recognition. In 2013 she was named in TIME magazine's most influential people and in 2014 she became the youngest ever Nobel Peace Prize winner.
With more than 2 lakh retweets, the thread also carries a sweet conversation of Malala and her brother Khushal Yousafzai.
On 17 August 2017 more than a month after she joined Twitter, Malala took to the social media platform to reveal that she has been accepted into the Oxford University and will be studying Philosophy, Politics and Economics. 'So excited to go to Oxford!! Well done to all A-level students - the hardest year. Best wishes for life ahead!,' she tweeted.
Post treatment in UK, she relocated to Birmingham where she attended Edgbaston High School and completed her schooling in July 2017. Earlier this year, she has been named as the youngest UN Messenger of Peace.
