Narrative:

I was at pattern altitude 1;000 feet AGL at downwind for runway xxr at ZZZ. Tower asked me if I can see two aircraft ahead of me. I acknowledged that I can see two aircrafts. I started doing my checklist and tower told me to be number 2 for runway xxr. I acknowledged. Then I saw one aircraft at the final and then I took my turn for right base xxr. Then I turned to final and at my final tower called me to go around. I took the appropriate action. At this time; TCAS also gave me an alert of traffic but I was focused on landing. After a day I came to know that I missed one aircraft below me at final. I did not know that there was aircraft at final below me. I realize that I made few mistakes.- I should have looked for traffic before turning to final.- I should have paid attention to TCAS.- one more thing that I did not tell tower in the beginning of my solo practice that I am a student pilot.
