I have always loved going to large cities the New York City or Philadelphia and see all the people getting to where they need to go. Even though it is chaos, there is a certain element of organization in it. Starting at age 11, I have always loved staring new "businesses." When I was 12, I started my own babysitting business. By the time I turned 13, though, I wasn't so interested in child care. I loved technology more, so I started Technical Aid, helping people with their technology problems. I got business cards and &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUodWON2d85XBhqXNLlUShzeduxjhPZOyWd58-0jMbKt9ETjSic4AU2mbzR41AZwWPJfzkgpUPDMMy6HyjgXRDa0sRW_6YcYUUN5hfwA42e2kgoVRV0xQdO4qvCsbSOTfqZ6Igy9EqJOhz/s1600-h/in+ctrl+logo+1500px.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUodWON2d85XBhqXNLlUShzeduxjhPZOyWd58-0jMbKt9ETjSic4AU2mbzR41AZwWPJfzkgpUPDMMy6HyjgXRDa0sRW_6YcYUUN5hfwA42e2kgoVRV0xQdO4qvCsbSOTfqZ6Igy9EqJOhz/s200/in+ctrl+logo+1500px.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241792420548473602" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;everything. But, soon afterwards, my family moved to where I am now. After living here about a year and a half, I started something new. I started In ctrl, whose logo is on the right. Like Technical Aid, I offer technology help and advice through the In ctrl. However, I have learned a lot from my previous business ventures and I hope this one lasts a long time. Maybe it will become one of my 5 startups.
