Im very new and very young whats INYO the best advice you have

First and foremost, continue caring about learning.
Second, find a good mentor (good knowledge and cares about you)
Third, listen. Try each advice and learn how to tell if it is helping.
Fourth, study, attend clinics, LISTEN and USE.
Fifth, don't overload. Your assortment looks like enough to start, one sanction, two if one is NFHS.
Sixth, study, attend clinics, LISTEN and USE.
Seventh, same as first.
