Zh'Ryia,
It's great that you have an idea of what you would like to do for a career so young. It gives you plenty of time to prepare yourself educationally, but also allow you to ensure that is what you really want to do. I would highly recommend talking to those in that field to get indispensable feedback on the positives and drawbacks that you may not have considered.
As with any goal, the mindset to achieve anything has to be broken into phases./steps For you ,this may mean you set mini-goals through the year to ensure you are on pace to meet your final goal. Taking the right classes and doing well in them will further propel that drive to reach your goal. You should expect setbacks and not look at these as failures or be discouraged. These are growth opportunities where you have control on how to move forward and your outlook.
It can sometimes feel overwhelming when the goal is difficult or takes a long time to achieve. The best you can do is plan for the factors you can control and enjoy the experience. Best of luck!

Consider volunteering or working at a hospital, clinic, or nursing home. This experience will be valuable for you. Also, reach out to your primary care doctor or nurse to discuss your future plans. Finding a mentor can be helpful too—perhaps someone at your local college who is already on the path you want to follow.
