My Comments: This is an extraordinary young woman. I challenge you to watch the whole thing and reflect on how someone her age can cause so many to stop and listen. Her message must be heard. It also gives me renewed faith that our young people are up to the task of leading the world in the future.

Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teenager who was shot and nearly killed by Taliban fighters for advocating that all girls should have the right to go to school, spoke this morning at the U.N. Youth Assembly in New York City on what was dubbed “Malala Day.” Simply reading the transcript of her remarks don’t do them justice—so here’s the full video. Stick with it, it’s worth it. Keep in mind that today (Friday) is her 16th birthday, and that these are her first formal public remarks.
