Hi Harrison!
Congratulations on wanting to explore engineering!
Here are a few sites that will tell you much about that area:

http://tryengineering.org/ask-expert/how-will-i-know-if-engineering-right-me
Here is a site that lists professional organizations to which engineers belong. It would be helpful to find one that interests you in your community and contact them and visit them to meet engineers and learn first hand more information.

Also talk to your math and science teachers to see if they know of any engineers you could meet and visit at their place of employment to see what they do and where they do it.
Send thank you notes to those who help you. Keep me posted, I am interested in knowing how you are doing!
