Hannah,
What a great first recording. Your voice in pleasant to listen to and you read very well.
As usually happens, there are a few things that you should look at:
At The beginning, please leave only .5 to 1 second of silence, you have a little over 13. We don't want people who download this to wonder if something is wrong, and there is no recording, and shut it off before you start.

And since you are going to be in fixing the above stuff, could you take a little over a second off if the end. LV tries to have five seconds of silence at the end.
One little hint that can make correcting the recording sooooo much easier, start with the last correction and work forward towards the beginning of the recording, that way the 'time stamps' will remain correct.
And as a comment, the above number of corrections is not unusual. Keep up the good work. Just make the corrections and post the new recording here in the Forum, and I will have another listen to it and, I am sure, will find it just fine.
