Hi Jonathan, I'm not proud of what I did but I wanted to encourage you and thank you with what I managed to do.

I think its worth celebrating, and try to enjoy the process. I think in the beginning its more about find the fun in each piece rather than the outcome being 100% accurate. I do like what you did do!
Everyone has to start somewhere, and the more you do, the better you'll get!. Also, keep in mind a lot of some of the CORE and FUNDAMENTAL courses are designed to teach you skills that you'll use in just about every later project.
