For those of You who did not get to see her last week (I did on cnni) and I couldn't leave until this beautiful brave and SMART smart young girl was finished! .. I wanted to walk away but I couldn't... Listen how mature she is! .. Oh she is such a strong strong beautiful brave young girl! .. what a testament! .... ;) I believe she could be President one day.

Then of course, if you have been following it at all YOU are aware that the Taliban has written to her, I haven't read it yet ... that came out the beginning of this week, and somehow I thought maybe I couldn't trust them and was going to let Malala take the lead and then I would follow her .... .

Even though I'm giving you this link! .. I BEG of you to save it for later and watch it tonight instead of the news ... ;) what will you miss ? ... Only what we already know .. .;) .............

ohhhhhh I love this sentence __A sixteen-year-old girl wearing three shades of pink stood in front of the United Nations on Friday. She was introduced by Gordon Brown, Britain’s former Prime Minister—a broad, lumbering man who nonetheless seemed as slight as a pencil sketch next to her.“Let me repeat the words,” Brown said. “The words the Taliban never wanted her to hear: happy sixteenth birthday, Malala.” .... ;)
