If possible, take statistics and other math or business related (Economics, Personal Finance, etc.) courses in high school as they'll be helpful for college level courses in Bus Admin. Find a part-time job in a company where you can learn about the organization and how it's run.

Hi Ronaldo! Seeing as you're so young, you should focus on taking whatever general business classes that are offered to you. Depending on how big your school is, there may be a general "intro to business" course, or you may be able to get more specific courses, like finance, marketing, or entrepreneurship. If you choose to continue your education after high school, you'll want to get an associates or bachelor's in business administration.
Additionally, focus on your math and English classes right now. To work on the admin side of a business, you need to be able to communicate well and understand financial constraints. If your school has classes related to computers (especially Excel), take as many of those as you can get.
Finally, seek out any business-oriented clubs at your school. DECA is most likely the largest business group you'll find in a high school environment, but any kind of club that has a fundraising side to it will help. Or, if that doesn't appeal to you, find a club or sport that you do like, and offer to be their student administrator--taking notes, tracking spending, keeping the advisor in the loop about planned activities. It'll give you a taste of what you'd like to do, and you'll gain great experience while having fun!
