Pakistani girl students sit next to remains of broken benches in a school in Mingora, capital of Swat Valley, hometown of Malala Yousafzai, in Pakistan, Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2013. Malala was a 15-year-old schoolgirl in northwest Pakistan, thinking about calculus and chemistry, Justin Bieber songs and "Twilight" movies. Today she's the world-famous survivor of a Taliban assassination attempt, an activist for girls' education and a contender to win the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday.
