Is this fair??

Hi everyone! I've got a situation here I was hoping I could get some help with. I have been accepted into my local high school wind ensemble, which is an honor for a freshman. However, just because I'm a freshman, I have to start with a chair at the very bottom of the clarinet section and challenge my way up if I want to, and if I can. The thing is, I have found that I am capable of moving up a good number of chairs in the section, so I have proceeded to do so. So far I've moved up three chairs in the past week or two. HOWEVER, every time I move up a chair, it seems the upperclassmen and the other people in the section hate me more and more. They seem to think I am conceited, mean, ruthless, and just plain a horrible person for challenging up chairs. This really hurts. I am challenging because I want to be the best I can be and try to challenge myself to do better! I just want to try and live up to my potential and the standards my teachers and I have set for me! But then, I don't want people to hate me as they do for challenging! This is so hard, and I still want to move up several more chairs but I don't want to be utterly loathed by the entire clarinet section! HELP! What should I do??
