Making the Move to First Level

I find it amazing how many people seem to stay at training level.  There is nothing wrong with that, but isn't it the universal goal to move up?  However, I am guilty of the same thing.  Here I am doing Training Level test 3 and First Level test 1.  Why can't I make the full leap up.  Fear of mockery or what.  My show is Sunday and my goal is to ride forward, through and have fun.
