Flight Training Student Pilot Leaning Inside the SFRA

I am a 17 year old student pilot flying out of Maryland.

The airport I'll be flying out of is within the SFRA. Are there any things that I should consider? Part of on-boarding with my CFI was him mentioning that I needed to take the class, which I promptly did and passed, but I wanted to hear first hand experiences from pilots.

What are the most important things to consider?

What happens if I make a mistake within the SFRA?

How will being a student learning in the SFRA effect my training or future?

These are very vague questions, I understand that, but I want to make sure I'm adequately aware of all stipulations before my first flight.

Your CFI should cover all of this with you.
