You sound like you have an awesome attitude! Maintain that attitude, it'll take you further than any technical skillset will. As for your dream to work at github: learn objective-c, and make an ipad app that allows you to code on an ipad: pull a project, change code, and make commits back upstream. If you do that well enough, you never know you might get a job offer. And if not, you'll make enough money selling the app to not care ;) (make a few smaller apps first, though - don't fall into the trap of biting off more than you can chew to start with!)
