Well, the person who has the most impact on me is my mother, which has so much to do with who I am, today.She's a giver, whenever she wants something she gives it away, If she wants a friend, she will be a friend. She believes to give and it shall be given unto you, good measure pressed down shaken together and running over, shall men put into your bosom. That's her way of living life.Production/ high quality production, the latest accomplishment she received was, the 2006 Chairman Circle Award which only the top 5% out of over 17,000 agents received, including both the United States and Canada. Over the years she has been consecutive, in her achievements receiving over 100 awards, including expanding her State Farm Agency.Born and raised in Hamtramck, Michigan, which was looked upon as the ghetto, she managed to escape the stereotypes and do what people would call in her environment "The Impossible", to fulfill her dream as an Agent. She once told me a story, which, I thought was amazing. As, a little girl, she would ride the bus with her grandmother, to pay on their life-insurance bill, in that same building she went to as a child, now she owns it.Raised with six siblings, two older brothers, two older sisters, and two younger sisters. She graduated high school with a 3.5 overall, and was the first of her siblings to graduate with a B.S. degree from college, making the deans list, double majored with two degrees one in Fashion Merchandizing, and the other one in Business Administration, graduating in 1980.It was September 30th, 1984, four years after graduating from college. Vevelyn Tripp gave birth to a special son, which was me, Herb Alan Tripp. That very moment when she took me in her arms and gave me the nickname Tiger, even though I couldn’t hardly see and couldn’t speak, I felt that we would be the best of friends. The thing that most influenced me is that she has set a wonderful example of how every person should be. Giving, peaceful, goal orientate, always putting God first, respectful to others and especially authority figures.To be a dream fulfiller, forgiving of others during difficult times, loving thy enemies, humble when others put her on a pedestal, honest to a fault. She taught me how to be a soldier, she survived when all odds was against her, she can smile and have faith in the darkest hour, and can be humble and praise God in the sunniest hour. This is what I hope to become like, in my lifetime.It makes me the person who I am today. A person that has drive to come to a city, where I know, no one, and be determined, and have ambition to make it. She has encouraged me to dream and gave me the faith that it can happen. If my mother can own a building, where she use to visit as a child and grow up to own a World Wide Class Insurance and Financial Service Agency, in that same building! Then I have even more drive and motivation to fulfill my dreams to reality. She is my rock, I can always depend on her, and she is also the fuel to my engine she keeps me going. My mother, I love her dearly.I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
