  1. I am thinking of the time I got shot by the Taliban on a bus in the perspective of Malala Yousufzai on October 2012. 

2. I  got on the bus, I was going to another place where I would protest so I could go to school I was with other girls who wanted to protest. We were halfway through our trip to the place when the Taliban knocked on the door loudly, our bus driver immediately opened the door. He didn't want to get shot. When he came in he shouted, "WHERE IS MALALA" I was so scared I kept very quiet. He shouted again "WHERE IS MALALA YOUSUFZAI."  I didn't want my friends hurt so I put my hand up. He shot me 3 times and once in the head. I heard two other girls were shot, I hoped they weren't my friends. I woke up in a military hospital all the way in Birmingham England far from Mingora, Pakistan, my home. My parents were next to me comforting me hoping I would stay with them. In the end I survived and now live there permanently. I am happy and have done many talks on this and soon became notable.  

I am thinking of the time my daughter got shot by the Taliban and nearly died. 

 

I was out at work when I got a phone call from the police. They said Malala was shot. I ran leaving my papers and everything behind, Malala means everything to me I couldn't let her go. They said that she would need major treatment and that you can only get this kind of treatment in England. I said " I am going to England". We had just enough money to get a ticket on the latest flight. The plane flight was a scary time, Malala was unconscious and me and my wife didn't want to lose her. When she got her treatment and was fine it was such a relief. 

I am thinking of the time I saved a girls life when she was shot. 

 

I was called on the scene, they said a girl was shot 3 times. Once in the head they said, I knew it could be fatal if she wasn't taken to England immediately or she would die. I informed the parents that she needed to go to England as soon as possible. The father said they had the money and buy a ticket for the earliest flight. When she arrived there were camera's everywhere being recorded for live TV the parents were in shock. We took her to the hospital and treated her. She was lucky.
