Malala has always projected family values more than anything else. Her family forms a closely knit tribe, with mother Tor Pekai, father Ziauddin and two younger brothers Khushal and Atal, who all are her sturdy backbones. The UN Messenger of Peace has recently been busy packing and preparing for her new embarkment in life; university at the incredibly prestigious Oxford University in London, and a few family members couldn’t be more thrilled.
Malala’s younger brother Khushal recently took to Twitter to post a touching tribute to his sister who’s leaving for college soon
He wished her all the best for her journey, before expressing how much he will miss his elder sister, as he posted a nostalgic childhood picture of the two and coupled it with an older photo of the siblings. He stated how she has always ‘stayed strong’ her entire life before declaring how proud he was of her.
It's been a journey with ups and downs but you stayed strong. I am proud of you and I will miss you a lot. Good Luck with oxford??. pic.twitter.com/RPxXLaBaok

Malala responded as the ‘older sister’ and brushed off a few parting words of wisdom upon Khushal
She told Khushal to always ‘work hard,’ and ‘take care of everyone and the family’ before she advised him to not bicker with brother Atal. She humorously added in ‘always obey your sister’ in a hearty manner.
Older sister’s advice:
Work hard, take care of everyone and the family, don’t fight with @atalkyousafzai and always obey your SISTER…. https://t.co/psPp1uVPdA

Khushal replied to Malala and accepted her sisterly counsel before tattle-taling on their brother Atal
Younger brother advice:
Advice accepted BUT… Tell @atalkyousafzai to behave as well and please help me with my maths homework?.

And thanked her for being such a tremendous voice in a ‘confusing, harsh world’
Malala, thank you for giving a voice to the education of girls. You are a breath of fresh air in a confusing, harsh world.

A few Pakistanis thought to remind Malala how Pakistan will always be with her
Good luck with Oxford, Malala! Pakistan is with you!
