It's not very common to see a teenager own and operate his/her own business. I've always had a great interest in the technology world which is what had prompted me into starting my own business, along with the chance to prove wrong the people that said I wouldn't be able to do it wrong.
             Throughout my youth I applied for work at just about any place that was hiring; my first job that I got was a job at Nino Salvaggio when I was 14; I worked there for about 4 months and I had to quit because of school. All of the money that I had earned from my work during those 4 months went to my parents. I've also worked for CVS Pharmacy, CompUSA, Rite Aid Pharmacy, and at Performance Resource Press over the past 4 years of my life. I have saved up enough money to support my self independently.
             Also I have gained a lot of experience from the jobs I've had. For instance, I noticed many people asking me a lot of different advice about computers when I worked at CompUSA. That led me to have many great ideas on how I could come up with a solution for the problems that were experienced by the customers I had. After working small jobs that involve computers for people, I noticed how successful I would be if I was to start my own computer services company.
             In the beginning when I first mentioned this to my parents they thought I was kidding and told me that there would be no way I would be able to handle a business at this age. They tried to explain to me that I would not even be able to get any customers and that even if I did get customers I would be ripped off. Even though those conclusions are possible, I was still very confident about starting my own business and very confident that it would be a successful business.
             Although my parents thought I wouldn't be able to run my own business, they still helped me a lot after they saw that this is what I really want to do. They didn't help me by giving me money...
