Why become the top percentile of anything?
I see your motivation is seeing your peers "get ahead" of you. We all do through that. I've gone through that. I chased after something because I wanted to keep up with my friends. It made me miserable. It's years long misery to achieve something that is unhealthy and not what I decided what I wanted for me.
I'd avoid being allowing others progress and achievements place pressure on you.
