Answer:

What kept Malala going was school. However, schools were being blown up across Pakistan due to the aggressiveness of the Taliban.

Step-by-step explanation:

In his book "I am Malala," Malala recounts the moment when the Taliban dominated Pakistan, implementing an oppressive and violent system that changed people's lives in a very negative way, especially women. Malala says that cases of violence, harassment and murder were constant after Taliban control. The Taliban also banned women from receiving formal education and blew up schools across the country. Malala felt very sad about this situation, but going to school gave her hope and allowed her to keep moving forward, as she knew that only an educated population could defeat the Taliban.
