Welcome!
There is no competition here. Some go fast, some go slow, some joined early and will reach level 21 earlier and some joined late and will reach level 21 later. Some joined the thread at a higher level and some joined the tread at a lower level. It’s all good! The only person you’re competing with is yourself (plus the calendar, if you want to reach level 21 by the end of the year). Go as slow as you like. I’m glad you joined us!
