I feel a little desperation, requesting your istance.. please?

Hi, my name's Omar S. Hafez I'm 20 yrs old from Jordan and I study Computer Information Systems. I keep hearing from time to time about teenagers who mastered programming and Hacking.. etc. Before they even graduate from school. Look this kid Hotz who's 17 yrs old and managed to crack an Iphone. And the problem is that I actually haven't mastered any of these yet. The first time I've ever learned about Compilers and Interpreters is when I had my first C++ cl last year in college. However, I've learned some C++ during last year and some O.O.P aswell, and also learned and still learning Python by myself, but I know this is absolutely not enough.The main problem is that I don't really wanna become an ordinary programmer who barely knows what he's doing, but I wanna become a professional programmer and software developer, but I just don't know where to start.Plus trying to create the suitable atmosphere for that is way easier said than done. So please, I need your guidance....
