The Commitment of Resource Bank Chapter Eight The Value of Individuals was eight years old when my family and I came to the United States from Vietnam after the war. I still vividly remember seeing that white star emblazoned on the hovering helicopter above us, and every time I think of that star. I want to thank the veterans who helped us. We were some of the lucky ones. My family experienced many difficulties back then. both before and after coming to the US.. but what helped us through them was the belief in the value of people. I believe that when you value who you are and you value your dients, you can build a relationship that allows you to leave a lasting impression. Every person that comes into my office is a person that I can help. When I meet someone new, I hope that I can put a smile on their face and add something positive to their life. Everyone has a story. and after my journey in banking and in my life. I have learned that hope, courage, kindness, and positivity can always make a difference. Not long ago, I was at a local event, and one of my now-grown clients came up to me and said. "There you are. Tho! You used to help me do all of my banking when I was little!" It made me feel so wonderful to know that people remember, and I was glad to know that I added some value to their life. If you would like to experience the added value that Resource Bank can offer, stop in to any one of our branches. It really does make a difference.
