Answer 1

do not rush to learn languages ​​​​at once and try to do any heresy. This is the main mistake that headlong flying towards the alleged "dream" and burn out plainly and without starting. And you still have plenty of time, unlike "many flying" :D
- As already written in English, if you have a good tech. basic English and excellent Google search skills, then you will already reduce 50% of your troubles, at least.
- Teach Boolean algebra for the time being, and indeed everything related to logic. It is not necessary to write in a certain PL for this, the real world and the usual expressions for this practice also abound.
- Read about computer architecture and especially about Memory management. In parallel, you will learn about data types, the stack, and the heap.
Yes, these are complex and very unpleasant things, but if you understand them, then the rest will only be a joy and without much tension))
And then take on a certain language. "If there is time," but I doubt it very much.

Answer 4

We need to start with mathematics, more precisely with mathematical logic and set theory. Modern programmers miss it a lot, and few people find time to study it. So it's better in advance, while still in school.
And specific technologies and programming languages ​​will change more than once, there is no need to rush with them.
