The fact that you can speak multiple languages is impressive, but the grade point average doesn't matter. It's been proven statistically that people with good grades don't do any better at life than people with bad grades.
Examples:
Einstein was a C-student - Smartest man who ever lived.
Bill Gates is a college drop-out - Richest man in the world. Kerry went to Harvard - Lost to Bush.
The point is that you don't need some bureaucrat in an office somewhere to tell you how smart you are, or how successful you're going to be.

No, it is normal for children in the Netherlands to know 4 languages by the age of 10. Therefore, they would all be considered child prodigies as well.

Even if you are a prodigy, a true sign of arrogance is to ask 'Am I a prodigy? Am I a genius?'. Humility is a fantastic trait, and without it you will never be great.

Not exactly. And you not exactly a child anymore. However, you are more intelligent than most people, most likely you are one of the smartest in your school, but definitely not in the real world.

I agree witht he first answer.
I would definitely not say prodigy. MAYBE you're smart, but prodigy is far too much.

A prodigy would know the answer of that question.
