It appears most useful suggestions to OP have been made. All i would add is, OP you need to add a very critical life skill to your repertoire. It’s called Being Present - and is hard to do for everyone. You’re a freshmen in HS. Be Present and enjoy the many things there are to enjoy about HS. Play sports, don’t play sports. Attend football (and other sports) games. Got to school plays or be in one! Got to home coming dances and other structured events. Be a 14 yr old kid.

Having an eye on the future is great, but at your age it should be more like a quarter of one eye with the rest on the present and ENJOY the journey. Don’t waste your four years worrying about the next four years.
