Malala's father constantly tried to please her grandfather, though he never felt like he was living up to expectations. One day, despite his speaking issue, he entered a public speaking competition to make his father proud. Malala's grandfather (whom she calls Baba) wrote a speech for him, and he ended up winning first place. His father called him Ziauddin Shaheen—because shaheen means falcon, which flies above all other birds.
