Rafy with a YS02E01 Running a school at 22.I start this new season by talking about the challenges I faced when running a school at the age of 22. For those who are interested in the backstory, about 6 months ago I was promoted to the position of the Chairman of Siraj Mia Memorial Model Foundation, my family's non-profit foundation. One of the branches of the foundation is Siraj Mia Memorial Model School which is the largest private school in Badda. With a big post came a big responsibility and here I talk about some of the unique challenges I faced and the way I overcame them.
