Excerpt from The Chronicle Herald, February 15, 2015:
"Malala Yousafzai had
no idea she would make a calculus class in Nova Scotia a little more tolerable
when she crusaded for girls’ right to education in Pakistan, but it had a
ripple effect just the same.
Sixteen-year-old
Mattea Roach was slugging through an upper-level math class at Sacred Heart
School recently (“Who likes calculus? No one likes it”) when a friend reminded
her that Yousafzai had fought for the rights of girls to take classes like the
calculus class.
“I
think it really renews an appreciation for all of us as girls for what we have,
and even when it’s not so great, that we should still look at it as something
that is a great privilege,” Roach said."
