    A Big Little Beginning

    By Barbara Boretsky | HIPster Blog | 0 comment | 1 February, 2017 | 1

    #BigLittleVictories Initial PostVictories come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes they’re big (like a new job) or small (like not spilling your morning coffee). We celebrate with friends, put them on the fridge and put them on our resumes. Victories are the spice of life. For our HIPsters and their families, that’s no different.

    Over the course of the past 8 years, we’ve made amazing strides as an organization, growing from an inaugural class of 10 HIPsters to a current student population of over 400. Along the way, there have been some AMAZING victories, and we’re so excited to announce that we’ll be sharing these with you over the course of the next month. Beginning this Friday, we’ll feature a different HIPster or My Possibilities Staff member here on the blog and on our social media channels. Check back in with us later this week and get ready to reimagine what’s possible with our first post in the #BigLittleVictories series.
