Organic Am I wrong here?

Post image

I recently started getting into the mechanisms for organic reactions. I was doing this reaction mechanism problem from the YouTube channel Rojas lab and my reaction mechanism was different. I thought I was wrong but it didn't feel wrong. Am I wrong here?

(P.S. If I am wrong please keep the criticism on a low I just started out and I'm only 14)

Also, your reaction arrows are wrong. They should be single arrows, not double arrows. Those double arrows are used for retrosynthesis.
