⤵️MichelleObama + Malala in conversation for InternationalDayoftheGirl
so much and recently graduated from college. I am on that path too. How did you find the resilience to keep going and keep studying, even against the great obstacles you faced?I really loved being at university. I learned so much and I made great friends too. Of course, I was hoping to spend my last months living at my college and graduating with my friends and that wasn’t possible because of the pandemic. But I am grateful that I was able to finish my studies, even if it wasn’t how I planned.
Being a student and an activist is a lot of pressure and it is discouraging sometimes. But, for me, there is no other option. I can’t pursue my own education while millions of girls are denied the same opportunity. I believe a lot of young people feel the same way and are balancing their studies with trying to create change in their communities. This gives me so much hope for our shared future.
I’m excited for you to go to college, Priya! If you want any advice from a recent graduate, please let me know.Priya, I’d love to hear more about your own story. I know that you’ve faced barriers as you continue to pursue your education. What drives you to keep studying and learning?I grew up in Kolkata in India, and my family struggled to get by. My mother passed away when I was young, so I live with my older sister and brother now.
So, I am not looking for a return to the way things were. I want a renewed commitment to education. If we do that, the data shows that our economies will be more resilient and our public health will improve., we’re helping girls to keep learning during the pandemic by working with local activists in our Education Champion Network. In Nigeria, Kiki James and ACE Charity are helping teachers develop radio lessons to reach girls in rural areas.
