Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: The Catalyst

One afternoon, Sir Gouranga noticed Rafiq, a bright student, struggling to focus. Rafiq confessed that his father was ill, and the pressure of home and school weighed heavily on him. That evening, Sir Gouranga met with fellow teachers. They agreed education had to inspire hope beyond textbooks. The next day, Sir Gouranga shared his own struggles with the class, telling stories of perseverance and dreams. The students' eyes sparkled with new hope. From then on, lessons included stories, real-life examples, and encouragement. Rafiq's grades improved — and more importantly, so did his spirit.
