Are you pleased that your son is following in your footsteps or would you prefer him to choose another field? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; msobidifontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msolist: Ignore;">8. Why were you educated in the U.S.A. and not in Pakistan? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; msobidifontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msolist: Ignore;">9. Are you afraid of any opposition? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; msobidifontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msolist: Ignore;">10.

What can you tell us about you mother (how she educated you and how she lead the party once your father was murdered?)

=**__ Answers: __**=

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; msobidifontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msolist: Ignore;">1. Of course that the wrong doings that they did to my father caused me to wish to lead, and to make a change. And of course that the powerful lead of my parents influenced me. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; msobidifontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msolist: Ignore;">2. The strong wish to change gave me courage. I felt the flowing love for my country and from the love to my people who deserve a better leadership, without corruption, that should lead us to a better future- to modern times. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; msobidifontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msolist: Ignore;">3. Mostly, what leads me was the wish to do good to my country, my people, and to the party. Of course there is a part of me that has a strong wish to commemorate my father, but not as revenge. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; msobidifontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msolist: Ignore;">4. My husband was educated in U.S.A in equal, fair and free education supports me, of course. But it is only natural that there will always be objection. (like: insulting remarks, etc.) If I get chosen I will try to change the educational system throughout the country. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; msobidifontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msolist: Ignore;">5. My dream was to become a kindergarten teacher or librarian as every young girl wants. After my father's murder the full responsibility of leading the country fell on my mother's shoulders and it was only natural that I should relieve her from this burden. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; msobidifontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msolist: Ignore;">6. These claims are untrue. They are spread by my political opposition in order to avoid having a woman ruler. We will examine each of the claims and if corruption is found we will clean it out immediately. Since this is a common party, based on the public, it is hard for me to imagine we have corruption. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; msobidifontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msolist: Ignore;">7. I'm pleased that he follows his own interests, and hope he succeeds. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; msobidifontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msolist: Ignore;">8. The Pakistan educational system is lacking, poor and no general knowledge is taught, so my parents chose to send me to be educated in the United States. When I win the elections we hope to raise the educational system to the world standards. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; msobidifontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msolist: Ignore;">9. No, I'm not fearful for my life, but for my fellow Pakistanis who I serve and they are on the top of my considerations. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; msobidifontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msolist: Ignore;">10. One must follow their dream, and not to quit no matter what the hardships are. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; msobidifontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msolist: Ignore;">11. My mother is the person I idealize, she was a strong independent woman who led the party intelligently after my father's murder. Yet she had a good woman's intuition and wasn't afraid to follow her desires. I'm sure my father is proud of the way she chose to continue.

=**__ Speech: __**=

Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, my dear fellow citizens,

From the beginning, the Pakistan nation was and still is a very varied and active nation, with a developed culture and has a talented population. However, Pakistan has always suffered from religious and political wars. We were under foreign rule for many years until we fought for our independence. Unfortunately, once we got rid of our external enemies, we've turned on each other, becoming each other's enemy.

Aren't you tired of this? Don't you want a better future? Aren't you disillusioned from the governmental corruption? Do you dream of a modern country? Do you hope for a better future for your children's education and culture?

This is what I offer, my dear citizens. I know and feel that we can do it with our own hands.

We have the power.

With your help, we can change this corrupt system. We can build a democratic government which is based on truth and honesty that will lead the nation and be run by it as well.

With your help, we can change government offices and government policy so that they offer services to the people and help them with their needs.

With your help we can develop a democratic, modern country. We can develop infrastructure (electricity and water), the health system and modern public facilities such as schools, hospitals, libraries and job training that will fit the modern needs. This can march us from the middle ages to the forefront of the twenty first century.

With your help and commitment we can raise the educational standards and open universities. Schools will be standardized and equal and free education will be offered, separately, for women as well as men.

We have the power. I believe in you. You must believe in it too.

=**__ Biography: __**=

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Benazir Bhutto was born on <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">June 21st, 1953, in Karachi , Pakistan. Her Parents are Zulfikar Ali and Nusrat Bhutto. She became famous because she was the first and the only <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">female prime minister that lead Pakistan. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">She was even selected twice to be prime minister. She was the first female leader in the whole Muslim world. However, she was assassinated on December 27th, 2007 by someone who wasn't so pleased.

Originally, she had planned on being a kindergarten teacher or a librarian as every young girl dreams, but after her father's murder her dreams was cut off. This caused her mother to take the leadership responsibility and she always knew that she is expected to lead the party in due time. Her childhood was influenced from that-all of her ideas, education and values <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">jelled after her father's murder.

She was educated in United States (because the Pakistan educational system is lacking, poor and no general knowledge is taught). When she's asked about her mother, she responds in a loving smile, and says: "My mother is the person I idealize; she was a strong independent woman who led the party intelligently after my father's murder. Yet she had a good woman's intuition and wasn't afraid to follow her desires. I'm sure my father is proud of the way she chose to continue". Some people claim that she is motivated to revenge her father's death, rather than her own desire to succeed. However, she feels that the strong wish to change gave her the courage and the flowing love for her country who deserve a better leadership without corruption. This she feels is the true motive for her desire to lead.

Did she come as a feminist? She came as an equal leader. In a world of equality, this shouldn't be an issue but in her culture it was. Her husband, who was educated in the U.S.A., supported her, and yes, she was aware that there were many who objected to her because she was a woman. It may have even cost her, her life.

The strong wish to change gave her courage. You can feel from her flowing love for her country and love to her people, who deserve a better leadership, without corruption- as she says.

She is a message by her self to other women who want to be leaders and she has a message too :" One must follow your dreams, and never quit no matter what the hardships are."

=**__ Rationale: __**= The teacher chose to write about Women of Valor. We chose to write about Benazir Bhutto because s/he was the first women to lead Pakistan government and the first women leader in the Moslem world.

Even though she knew the difficulties she was not afraid to try. She paid a heavy price for her ideas and has left us a dream to fulfill,. I followed the shocking announcement when she was killed and wondered why the Pakistani government denied the allocations that she was murdered. So I wanted to learn more about her.

We learned from working on the project writing skills <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; msobidifontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Comic Sans MS'; msolist: Ignore;">1.
