All that matters is whether or not you can successfully build that which must be built. The ability to figure out what that is and how to do that is the most important skill of all. I would add to this that it's important to learn how to build what must be built efficiently. If you create what appears to be an elegant piece of software on the surface but resembles a Rube Goldberg machine internally then it's going to be quite difficult to maintain or enhance it later.

The next step would then be to expand the functionality of whatever you built by making it do something it was not originally supposed to do. You should then discover the shortcommings of your original solution and from that learn how to work your way around it or that it might be necessary to rebuild it because you did a crap job the first time. Rebuild stuff!
