Everyone has experienced defining moments where they have been faced with what seemed to be insurmountable challenges. We are often defined by how we succumbed to the challenge or rose to meet it. Inner strength and spirit powers us to triumph over all who might seek to test us or divert us from our desired path. Teachers know that many of these triumphs go unrecognized, but can have a significant and resounding impact on our students, community, and ourselves. Triumphs! is a symbolic work that serves to celebrate these successes that occur every day in every walk of life.
