Being able to read and understand other people's code is a tremendous skill. Passing technical interviews is a skill in and of itself. Everyone has room to grow, and even the most experienced software engineers have gaps in their knowledge. Seek honest feedback from your peers, explore data structures, "Big O", and software design patterns (OOP isn't the end-all-be-all), and watch yourself grow. Most of all, believe in yourself, keep coding and making things happen.
