Mr.B's: Lego Origins

First of all, this is all about one of my most favorite hobbies or things to do. I know it might sound a little bit funny and all, but I like building with Lego's. Yes, me, a eight grader likes playing with little baby pieces of plastic. Lego's are pretty childish, but you wouldn't believe how many adults I know that like Lego's. I mean, they are just pieces of plastic, but when joined and put together make anything you dream of and that is why I thought they were the most creative toys ever. And what do you know? They still are and they will never get old. Just imagine, if you had a 100 regular Lego pieces in front of you. Think of all the possibilities. Think of all the stuff you can make, and that is why with Lego's, there are no boundaries for creativity. For the next paragraphs, I will tell you and explain as thoughroly as I can to tell you what I do with my Lego's and if I really do like them in the inside….or not. So sit back and enjoy.
In the beginning, when I first heard about Lego's I thought they were just a new type of toy, same and boring like the others. So I really didn't know what they really where. Then I saw those cool Lego Star Wars pictures at the mall, they looked sweet. I decided, that they were okay looking and that I needed to try one out. After about a week, I forgot about all of those Lego's, I mean. I didn't even know that they were even existing. So that leads me all the way to my 7th birthday and that was the day I was hooked on. My best friend at my old school, Robert gave me this awesome Lego Star Wars set. It had those cool Jedi dudes and that beastly robot R2-something. Anyway, I was really excited. All the way until I got home, opened the box, and started working on it. Now I wasn't dumb that time, but the set was like ages 8-12, It was a little, confusing, no, wait, it was really confusing! The first page I couldn't even figure out where they go! So I dumped everything except for that shiny, small and metallic "light saber" that was included in the set. And the pieces. Those were the only things I kept in remembrance of the worst toy ever.
So, yes, that was my early childhood. I was a really evil kid. (no I'm just kidding)I was actually really disappointed in myself, because at first I thought they did something wrong. But then it actually turned out to be me. The really bad thing was that I got so angry that I actually threw away the instructions to build the set because they were awful. Now I was really an angry kid. Anyway, lets get on a little bit farther in my life. In the meantime between the 3 years, I started playing with my friends more and got into more school-based activities. I forgot about Lego's again, and I really think I wanted to forget about them this time!
Now these were the really good years when I had the most fun, but since I moved to Pewaukee, that means school and I didn't know anyone in my school yet until I met all of my future friends. I found out that they were actually big Lego fans, so without any questions I became their friends and learned their interests and hobbies. I was really excited that I finally met someone who actually liked Lego's, and a lot of them! So I turned my life a little bit more faster, you see, I started collecting more Lego's and actually getting a fair amount of play time with them. The first two years went very smoothly and I mean it was way better than doing anything else and I saw myself facing middle school. It was a big thing for me but I knew that I couldn't give up. One of the things I participated in the school was to tutor a kid named Christian Memmo. He was knew this year and the teachers picked me because I had a very good reports and comments from my past teachers how Bijoy is a "wonderful student". So I knew that middle school was going to be hard and I put aside the Lego's for next year. Finally, it was summer vacation and I knew I wasn't going to go on some fancy trip or anything so I decided to get back to the Lego's and create new things that I could show my friends. As the day s went on, I found myself only a day from eight grade. I was a little disappointed at first because I wanted vacation to be a bit longer, and that it was going to be even a bigger challenge than seventh grade and I have to give it full effort to keep up with the class. Lego's were again pushed aside, but know since eight grade has been going smoother that I expected, I decided why not have a break and play with Lego's in the free time and to tell you the truth, it was fun. I was really relived and it felt good to have time with something you put aside for years. No right here in this present time while I'm writing this essay I fell like I still care about those Lego's and how important they really are. My goal for all of this is to take some kid who doesn't know anything and plays video games the whole time to introduce him to Lego's. I hope it changes his way of playing and his free time. This is far by the best years I had ever had.
So, that was my whole story, It is really weird how the story really changes and progresses onward like that when there are times you see me throwing the Lego pieces and there are times I'm just having so much fun, but the real question is do I like them or do I not. The answer is I do like them, and I take back everything I said bad about them, you see, Lego's I think are a creative and smart way to go and have some fun time. I mean, I never, ever use to sit home and play video games. I mean they are so fun for me and you actually lean some engineering and designing when you work with them, you actually feel like you are using your time wisely rather than slumped up in the couch, playing some dumb, violent video game, and to be honest, I am becoming one of those people. The really good thing is that I haven’t lost my love of the Lego's. This is why I encourage everyone to try one out. Go to any toy store and get one. Build it and have fun with it. I liked it a lot and maybe you will too. Thanks for listening to my review and I hope you guys learned my side of life.
