I think you did better than you're thinking you did.

Nice work with the shape simplification, Tamia! Next, you can work on your value separation to help this read more clearly. Right now when I squint down I’m seeing only 2-3 values because your light halftone value is really close to the overall value of the paper you’re using as the highlight. Take a look at Project - Simplify from Observation, and focus on the Values section. Try to shade a simplified value scale like the one shown, you can use different harness graphites to achieve this, or use a softer lead like 2b or 4b pencil and vary your pencil pressure to build your values up, but try to match the 5 value separation as closely as you can. Different paper surfaces can greatly impact uniformity of values, so try using a smoother paper to lessen the texture that is breaking up your darkest value in the shadow area. Once you have a well defined value scale, try to apply that to your drawing. Use your two darkest values for the shadow shapes, and 3 values for your lighter shapes. Then follow along with Stan in the Demo - Simplify Pear from Observation, and notice how he lays in the shadows, specifically how the core shadow wraps around the pear. Keep up the good work!

This is beautiful.
