Nothing special? Don't sell yourself short. You've been volunteering since high school and got a 3.9 GPA in college. You've accumulated over 9K hours with heavy INTL PIC. Sounds pretty special to me.
It sounds to me like you've been working your whole life with a single goal in mind and never gave up. It sounds to me like you earned that interview and earned the job at UAL with every effort you put in since high school. Don't let the internet harshness make you apologize for your comment about being on the younger side...you're proud of yourself and you should be. You worked your a$$ off and got hired early in your life in an industry where age+seniority are king. You're going to have an incredible career and you've earned it.
Many congrats! Well done.
