Hi Ali. Good job with repoting. However, I don't think there's anything you can do this to make into a small tree, not even for practicing. The trunk is too thin, too young, branches are randomly placed and too far from the base of the trunk. In order to practice with this tree, you would need better primary branches, and it will take you too long and too much work to get that, which is a waste of time.

The reason why you are confused with this plant is because it is not good material. Get something else, and I recommend something that you can have outside as growing indoor Bonsai is more difficult.
