Doing this, mapping these places, very tiring. I know i’m helping and doing something I have never done before is why I continue to map. i thank my teacher for showing an allowing us to do this its pretty cool.

We don’t want to force anyone to map here. It’s all voluntary, so if you don’t want to map, you don’t have to.
But if you live where you map, your contributions are indeed very valuable.
Anyway, I find mapping the most rewarding when I can finish projects. F.e., I was happy when I mapped every house in my street, every street in my village, every village name in my province, …
Stats can also be nice when you find it tiring. Like http://hdyc.neis-one.org/?sealthedeal
But you should not map for the stats only. The most valuable contributions don’t show up in the stats. Like naming a place or shop is very valuable, because only local people can do it with good quality, and it helps people to orient themselves.
If you want, you can also contact the HOT group. Not neccesarily to trace imagery (you don’t need to be local for that), but to help with organising or validating. Subscribe on the HOT mailing list (osm.wiki/Mailing_Lists) or come chat with HOT members on IRC (https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.oftc.net/hot - just pick a nickname and start chatting) to see what cooperation is possible.
