Hi Luis! I like that you're already thinking about this in 7th grade and that passion for building with Legos is exactly the kind of mindset that makes a great construction worker. From what I've seen working on complex projects, one of the hardest parts is the physical demand because you're on your feet all day in extreme heat or cold, lifting heavy materials for long hours. Another tough part is problem solving on the fly because things don't always go as planned, whether it's weather delays, supply issues, or design changes. In my own career, I've had to solve issue logs during high pressure project launches, and that ability to stay calm and figure things out is something you'll definitely need in construction too. My advice is to start learning now by watching how things are built around you, take a woodworking or shop class when it's available, and look into programs like SkillsUSA when you're older. Keep that curiosity going!
