Today we’d like to introduce you to Alvin Arrington.
Hi Alvin, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Born in Gaston, NC. Raised in Richmond, VA. Graduated Armstrong High School 1993.
Growing up in poverty, I thought the streets were my only way to success. This mindset was rooted in a survival instinct, a belief that the only way to get by was to follow the path I saw around me.
But I’ve learned that true power comes not from what you take, but what you build. The path I’m on now isn’t about the streets; it’s about breaking a cycle and creating a different future for myself and my community. It’s about showing that there’s another way.
As a young man, I often found myself drifting aimlessly, without a clear sense of direction. It wasn’t until later in life that I realized the truth behind the saying, ‘A young man without ambition is an old man waiting to be.’ This quote has become a guiding principle for me, reminding me of the importance of setting goals and striving for my dreams.
One of the most pivotal moments in my life was when I decided to pursue my passion for helping the youth. However, I took a leap of faith and decided to follow my heart. It was a challenging journey, but it ultimately led me to a place of fulfillment and purpose.
Through my own experiences, I’ve learned that ambition is essential for a meaningful and fulfilling life. It’s what drives us to reach for our goals, overcome obstacles, and become the best versions of ourselves.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
No it has not been a smooth road. No having money just eat was ruff
