Hi. I need some help regarding my portofolio and experiences.

I'm a sophomore in high-school and now that i'm getting closer to college I'm realizing my choice of career path seemed to broad and i'd like to have a career as child-advocate lawyer things such as helping troubled children or children/teens in dangerous situations or mental well being Harvard had always been the number one university for me because it's the best law school In the U.S I knew I didn't want to pursue a career in criminal law so now that I'm really looking into it I'm not even sure if Harvard is the right way to go anymore do I pursue a career in psychology? or a specific major relating to it and I'm struggling to find which college would be the best choice for me concerning the career path I'm passionate about as I'm not entirely sure anymore. I've always wanted to go to an ivy league because I thought it would be the best option. Harvard has always been a top choice but Yale has found it's way into my choices as well. Now that I'm navigating my career path I'm not sure if there are the right choices or not or if these colleges have what I need them to offer?
I just want to make the right choices for me and realizing my choices were too broad and that I needed to be very specific with what I want to pursue in my career path I want to start thinking about these choices now so I can meet the criteria for my college though I am undecided as of now.
I suck at math and I want to get better but I don’t know how.
I suck at math and it’s genuinely embarrassing. Like there’s some topics that I get but it’s a matter of remembering for me. I always forget what’s taught to me in math class. And this is specifically only for the math subject and not others like Biology, Anatomy, history, English, government and etc.. I’ve tried to teach myself but every time I do, I forget. I don’t remember key equations and I don’t remember how to go about solving it, so when presented with one on a test I freeze up. I’m a junior so I’m taking the SAT’s this year and the math portion terrifies me. I see equations and I know I can solve it but I never remember how to! I’ve always been bad at math from a young age also, it took me a while in 3rd grade when we learned our multiplication tables to actually memorize it. I think math is such a fascinating subject and I truly believe it’s very interesting but, I just suck at it. I don’t even know where to start when it comes to memorization and remembering. I’m willing to learn.

What to do if I have no APs/Honors/Extracurriculars (a shy homeschooled Junior in HS who wants to pursue either becoming a lawyer or something in the forensic science area)?
I feel very behind and stressed because though I do make good grades, I know that I should have at least a few of these things but I don’t. I know the best way is for me to just do something about it but I’m not sure on how to go about it. I also feel stressed because I’m not 100% for sure which career path I should pursue: law or forensic science. I will take any advice. Do you think that it would be a good idea if I take any APs/Honors next year or will it be too late? I was thinking of taking dual enrollment next year and some CLEP exams this year. And, what extracurriculars should I do as of now, and for my senior year—ones that match the careers i want to do or a variety of different things that interest me? (sorry if i got off topic!!!) Thank you in advance because any help/advice will be appreciated!

Should I get my associates degree while in highschool?
I’m a freshman in highschool. My school has an early college program where you can take college classes and earn an associate’s degree. But I have no idea if it’s right for me. What would my highschool and college career look like if I got my associates in highschool? I heard that I’ve your looking to get into an IVY league or top college, the degree won’t help much. You can take some AP’s while doing college courses, but I believe by Senior year, where you’ll be taking 4 college courses, there will be no room for AP’s. Also, I heard that if you get your associates degree, you will only spend 2 years in college. I’m not sure how true that it. For me, I will am interested in biomedical engineering (this I’m not even confident in) The only thing is I’m not too sure of my future career… I could change my mind at any second. If I choose to get my associates degree in high school, my life will rush through when I’m not even sure about anything. What will I do if I want to change my mind?:( I’m not sure what I’m gonna do. I want to succeed. Like my older siblings, I want to get into good colleges with scholarships. They had a different high school experience and their school is much different from the school I chose to go to. I don’t know anything about any of this and no one is helping me!!! :,( I just really want to succeed, despite not being too sure about my future career…. I just hope everything works out. I’m supposed to make my choice by the end of this week. What do I do? Should I just go through highschool doing AP’s/Honors or should I try to get my associates degree? And if I were to get my associate’s degree in highschool, what would my future look like?
How can I get some work experience in high school?
I ran out of classes to take at my high school - so now my day ends at 1PM I really want to do a cybersecurity related internship with the half day I have off. I'm really excited about the field (I've been involved in a related competition since freshman year, and I focused on it at a MIT summer program), and I'm eager to see the real life applications. From a professional standpoint, is this attainable? I understand companies might be hesitant to take on high school interns, especially seniors. I honestly am really excited to get hands on experience in the field and would love to continue this into the spring/summer. My family doesn't have any connections in the field and I've been pointed to cold emailing. Any tips on how I could approach it? Thanks in advance!
Constitutional lawyer questions
I’m interested in becoming a constitutional lawyer. How would I become doing that and work up the way to become a solicitor general however, the way as a sophomore in high school prepare myself to do that.
Hi, I'm about to be a sophomore. And I wanted to do dual enrollment. I'm striving to be a nurse in the future. And I know if I take classes for dual enrollment, those credits can be transferred to college. If I'm striving to be a nurse what classes should I take, do I just take any like psychology and if I do, does that mean I won't have to take that class in college and also, they asked for what intended major or program of study I want to take, I'm curious what I should do for that. Thanks!
