There is still "HOPE"

by Zaynah Gilani
Pakistan has been a victim of constant suicide sttacks, economic crisis and political upheaval. Still among us are those, who make us realize that giving up is not the answer, accepting it as fate is not the path to adopt. One such brave individual is the founding member of Shajar-e-ilm, Maham Ali, whose perseverance and commitment has made the rest of us realize, that every action is a step ahead. With the current situation of the country, very few people see a future and most are termed as idealists, but should we really stop caring because one voice may not make a difference? Is one voice all it takes to bring the tide of change? In her article(The News), Maham Ali has been declared a "National Hero", just for taking the time to voice her opinion. Why do we have to loose hope for the worse and only take credit for the better? It is the people who make a difference to change their destiny.
The girls from Swat need an inspiration and example to see that "Making a Difference" will always be the correct path, no matter how small it is. Maham has been that hope to prove that the future can still be bright, it just needs a little help to get there.
