In college I majored in Biology, myself. So I can probably give you some advice. But you need to carefully write out your question. I cannot understand what you wrote or what info. you need.

Make sure that being a scientist is really what you want. Scientists have to be the type of person who can sit all alone and concentrate on one topic for a long time.
Decide what field of science you'd like to specialize in.
Take as many high school courses as you can in the subject of your choice. Strive to get good marks so you'll be admitted to a good college or university.
Earn a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in the field of science that interests you.
It will also be very beneficial if you earn a doctorate in your field.
Get experience in your field by shadowing other scientists. This will give you practical experience and will let you learn what it's like to be a scientist.

Hi S N. Thanks so much for your question. I see that you posted this question a little while ago so I hope my answer to you (or others who may read this response) is still helpful.
Taking on the role of the scientist, just like taking on the role for some other profession, starts with a passion. In other words, it starts with an understanding of what it is you like to do and how long you like to do it. This is a particularly important question to answer for yourself because being any type of scientist (as there are many science disciplines) requires a lot of study both broadly and deep. Which, to me, means you have to start with a curious mind. You have to start off knowing yourself well enough to know how interested you are in understanding how something works. Curiosity can propel you to digging into understanding how something works and, even more importantly, what to do if something doesn't work. Finding and fixing problems can be a long and hard task. And many times, the only thing that allows a person to overcome those challenges is an unwillingness to give up...trying and trying again.
This doesn't mean that you have to problem solve by yourself. Having good partners will go a long way. But it is important to recognize the amount of effort that is needed to be successful, whatever profession you decide to pursue.
I wish you the best of luck!
