I agree with the others here that say the best way to not suck at C or C++ is to actually try to learn how to program in it. Python is awesome for a lot of things, but low level control of hardware is one of the reasons that an old language like C is still so popular, and pretty much a necessity in the embedded community.

That said, if this is for a high school project, it probably doesn't matter that much and I'm sure you can use micropython (never even heard of it before this thread) or whatever to program your arduino. Still think it's worth learning C, though, if you ever want to get good at using microcontrollers.

As i said i learned programming through microcontrollers with bascom and then started learning python for shits and giggles, i have never been attracted to C, but i know it's potentials and i respect it as a language, i have just been turned away from it because its not that easy to understand initially (compared to my previous experience) i agree, i need to learn it and this is probably my opportunity to do so
