It all started in two thousand and eleven. I was just a kid playing video games and having fun. I was playing games like Need For Speed, Pro Evolution Soccer and FIFA but never thought what would happen.

One day, my cousin came to visit me. Like usual, I was playing. He came to me and said, "Hey, do you know about this game?" He had brought his laptop with him so he showed me. I looked in his laptop's screen and just started laughing. I replied, 'What are those squares,man. Are you kidding me?' He got quite angry with me and said, ''Wow, you are so stupid. This is Minecraft. How don't you know about this awesome game?' I didn't think that it was so awesome back then.

He came to visit me every single week and he continued playing this game. I really thought it was quite stupid to have only some blocks and play with them but I actually tried playing it one time. He wasn't with me so I was a big tragedy. I didn't know what was going on so I just quit after the first ten minutes.
I was really not into this type of games. Three weeks after me trying to play, he came to me and said, 'I don't have many friends that play Minecraft. So, do you mind playing with me?" At this time I had already done a little research and had seen how to craft. I replied, 'No, it will be cool to play with you. And it's good to try new things, right?' He just smiled at me and then we started playing.

After one month playing, he had taught me everything important that I needed to know so I was able to play very good. While playing Minecraft, I was also playing and a lot of soccer games so I needed to decide whether to quit soccer games, or quit Minecraft.

It was that time of the year when the summer holiday was ending and the school year was beginning. I just thought, "Why don't I just continue playing Minecraft. It is a game that doesn't take a lot of my time so I won't have any trouble if I play in servers and just build.

Whether I was playing or not, I started having bad grades. My mum always complained of me because I didn't have excellent results, so in the end she just didn't let me play. She got my computer and I couldn't play for weeks. She was getting on my nerves but I knew that she was helping me to get a good education and then having fun.

So she gave me my computer back actually when I had saved money for a new one so I just bought a new computer and told her that she can use mine for her tasks. I got very good grades in the end and my mum was happy so I made her very happy and at the same time I was about to start playing Minecraft again after 5 weeks of hard studying. I began building different structures that I liked. I've never uploaded them, though. I didn't even know about this LOVELY community here where you can place your work of art and get people's opinion. I think I fell in love with this game while I was playing and it changed my life a lot. This game made me think harder on what I can improve.

And most importantly, this game made me realize that family cannot be replaced and only hard work can make you into a good person who spreads happiness to all people that see him or even his videos.Firstly, I made my mum a happy person by making sure that I will have the best education possible. Secondly, It led me to this game that helps me dig a way to succeeding into making my dreams come true. And third, it led me to the entertainment and this community that I want to support.
