Welcome to the community @dkalcantara110297-tech!

I totally understand how overwhelming it feels when you're just starting out in this field, and having a mentor definitely helps a lot. Since this specific discussion board is mostly for general GitHub feedback, it might be a bit hard to find a direct mentor right here.
However, since you are looking for people to learn from, here are the best ways to find mentors and coding peers on GitHub:

Explore "Good First Issues": Look for open-source repositories with tags like good-first-issue or first-timers-only. The maintainers on those projects are usually super friendly and glad to guide beginners step-by-step.
Join Student Communities: If you are a student, check out the GitHub Global Campus and look for local tech communities or Discord servers. Finding a study group there is a game-changer.
Check out GitHub Skills: If you want to practice your navigation and coding at your own pace, try out the interactive courses at skills.github.com. It's completely free and highly recommended for beginners.
Don't be discouraged! Everyone started exactly where you are right now. Just pick a small project or language you like, practice a little bit every day, and you'll catch on in no time. Good luck!
