Why is everybody so accomplished

Like everywhere how has everyone done research and 5 internships and also won 7 awards and have good grades. It feels so weird when all your life you get banging grades and try to do stuff around school and idk just do well where you are and then you talk to more people and then they helped onboard 100s of organ donors and distributed eco friendly pads or funded science laboratories in underfunded schools and did physics research at some top lab and worked with a harvard professor and they were also where you were but they had college admissions in the back of their mind the whole time I don't even know, I've basically just accepted I'm going to my local school atp it doesn't even matter how many essays I write or what I do I'm just so out of my depth. I can't do this anymore like I'm out of a race I didn't even know I was running.
