Questions
Dear. Bila
This is Minjeong Kim from The John Carroll School in Bel Air, Maryland.
For National History Day Project, I chose Malala Yousafzai for my website research because she inspired me a lot.
To get further information, I wanted to contact people who know her very well.
Would you mind helping me answering some questions on this email-interview?
1. Before we start, could you tell me a bit about your background and how you are related with Malala Yousafzai?
2. How did you first know Malala?
3. How were circumstances under Taliban before Malala came up to public?
4. Do you know any victim who was attacked by Taliban or deprived her rights (education, social life. etc) by Taliban?
Could you describe briefly about her or circumstances during that time?
5. How did Malala Yousafzai change Pakistan (everyday life, students, teachers, government, people)?
6. What would you do under circumstances in Pakistan if you were Malala Yousafzai?
7. Could you let me know any contact of her supporters, relatives or your friends in Pakistan that I can email for further information about her?
I’m so thankful for you to read all the questions and answer those.
I’ll wait for your honorable answers.
Thank you again for helping me interview.
Have a great day!
Sincerely,
Min Kim

Answers
Dear MinJeong
Hi MinJeong
I'm Bilal who's going with same school with Young Joon.
Anyway, it's really glad to hear that someone is interested about Malala
As you know, she become one icon in Pakistan now.
Actually I don't know her specifically.
I lived the town which is little bit far away from Malala's town.
But I heard Malala's town was occupied by Taliban pretty long time.
I heard Malala's news from the news because that time I wasn't at Pakistan.
I was very surprised about that news.
I just quite known about their circumstance is like under Taliban pretty long time.
Also, I saw documentary about her.
I don't know anyone who was attacked by Taliban or deprived her rights by Taliban.
I'm sure she was in danger and she couldn't go school.
Malala changed some sort of problem of education for girls in Pakistan.
I would stand for what's right and fight back.
Last, I lost the contacts with people who are in Pakistan now:(.
Sorry about that.
Hope my answers help you.
Hope you get A for National History class.
Have a nice day
