Is learning Python "extraordinary"?

*shrug*

Given the apathy of the vast majority of high school students,
any amount of self-initiative is in itself an extraordinary thing.
As a high school student, if you were authoring Python extensions,
now that would be genuinely extraordinary. For that matter,
contributing to the IT community in any way as a high school
student is remarkable.

Don't be afraid to stroke your own rhubarb, as it were, on a
college admissions test. You don't get points for modesty and
a self-deprecating nature on that type of thing. Trust me on
this. Brag.
