Hi Elan, I wanted to reach out and say “congratulations” on putting yourself out there to compete. As someone who struggles with the pressure of competition, it always think its extremely admirable to put yourself out there like that!

We are not meant to be perfect. We make mistakes and learn from them. Life would not be interesting without making mistakes. There is nothing wrong with asking for help or making a mistake. Don’t be so hard on yourself. We are here to help each other out.
