I don't know where to begin my speech
I don't know what people would be expecting me to say
but first of all thank you to God
for whom we all are equal
and thank you to every person who has prayed for my fast recovery and a new life
I cannot believe how much love people have shown me
I have recieived thousands of good wish cards and gifts
from all over the world
Thank you to all of them
Malala Day is not my day
Today is the day of every woman,  every boy and every girl
who have raised their voice for their rights.
On 9 October 2012 the Taliban shot me on the left side of my forehead
They shot my friends too
They thought that the bullet would silence us
But they failed
and out of this silence came thousands of voices
The terrorists thought that they would change my aims and stop my ambitions
but nothing changed in my life except this
WEAKNESS, FEAR AND HOPELESSNESS DIED
STRENGTH, POWER AND COURAGE WAS BORN
