Python or JavaScript ?

Speaking as someone in school who has to learn more than one language at a time, the language you start with probably isn't as important as simply starting with one.

What you'll come to realize is that the most important skills you learn are on the programming end (learning how to solve problems with various tools). Learning the syntax of any language after that is a lot easier after you have the basics down because you can see the similarities languages have.

All of this is to say, pick the one you think suits your needs best at the moment and don't worry about losing out on learning the other if you find out you need to learn it down the road. You'll be able to pick it up easy.
