That's more than enough. Forget the exaggerated personal statements you see online. You've done more things than many applicants. Talk about one or two things you learned like the programming languages and some concepts from the courses you took. Let them know why you want to study Computer Science and any future career plans you might have.
Hi there!
As DaryIO said, you've already done quite a lot!

Universities aren't looking for a fully-finished student that knows everything, otherwise there'd be no point teaching you! They're looking for an individual with the potential to be a great student and a brilliant graduate. As long as you demonstrate in your personal statement that you're passionate about the course, and you're willing to put in the work, universities will be happy to have you!

Best of luck with your application!
