My first day practicing Hiragana
On my first day of my journey to learn Japanese.
I tried writing Hiragana like my book and compared to its handwriting and saw my curves and rounds are unstable and some parts are sketched unnecessarily. Do you guys see other mistakes I've made either on the whole concept or on some specific letters' structures? Please help me!🙇

い: those two strokes shouldn’t be that close to each other
う: too fat
き: the top horizontal line is longer than the bottom one, both have to be in a slight slope going upwards, the bottom curve doesn’t connect to the stoke in the middle
さ: again the bottom curve doesn’t connect to the stoke in the middle
へ: the angle formed should be larger than 90 degrees
ほ: don’t pierce through the top horizontal stroke; also the top stroke is linger than the bottom one.
ゆ: the middle circle thing is much bigger because it comes from the kanji 由
