I’m hoping this will be a good project for me. I have loved maps since I was a small child and my father and I used to spend hours pouring over his atlas and maps of everywhere. I feel closer to him doing this sort of activity.

@Luana_B Welcome to OpenStreetMap. We have a fun and open community in the US. Please join us on Slack. Slack is a collaboration tool for OSM mappers, organizers, and developers.
I encourage new mappers to map what they know, your neighborhood. So many features just waiting to be added. When you have a question, Slack is a great place to ask. The other advice, even though you didn’t ask for it, is to map your passion. It could be trails, pubs, restaurants, sidewalks, handicap access, and on and on.
Since you are so close to Minneapolis I encourage you to attend the State of the Map US conference being help there September 5-8th. There is even scholarship money to help you attend, you just need to apply.
Have Fun, Clifford AKA Glassman
