## **Those Huge Small Victories**
Our teachers are fulfilled by the idea of making even the smallest positive
changes in our young people, so we celebrate the little things. There’s lots
of ups and downs, and to some of our young people, sitting through a lesson
can be a big win. We call these huge small victories and whilst they may seem
small on the surface, they add up to make a big difference.
