Is learning Python "extraordinary"?

[Jesse F. W]

	I am a high school senior, and like many others, I am applying 
to college.  I am applying to MIT (as well as many other schools).  
MIT describes what they are looking for as students who do or have 
done "extraordinary things".  My question is this, Is teaching myself 
Python (with the aid of the Python tutorials and some help from the 
various lists) an "extraordinary thing"?  How many python-list'ers are 
high school students?

				Thank you(boy, what a strange question this is) all,
