Life is a journey where you try things out, evaluate if it is for you and then make decisions based on your experience. Another added level of complexity is that you yourself will also change and what your interests and values are at one point may change and the job that you thought was meant for you no longer is. The bottom line is the idea of something being meant for you is a goal that is unrealistic. Instead reserve time for introspection to figure out what you want in life, career, etc and figure out what your strengths and weaknesses are, tie those together and figure out what careers align with such - this will set you up with more alignment in what you want that may not be something you are conscious of and tie it to a career.
Figure out what your life goals are (ie. work to fund your hobbies, work as your hobby)
Figure out what you want to learn from a job, what you value in a job
Figure out what your strengths and weaknesses are
Figure out what jobs align with your personal abilities and your personal & professional goals
Figure out what opportunities are closely available to you (ie. school network, campus recruiting, personal connections, etc)

Hello Krishnaprasad,
It's great to know you are already thinking about your career at such a young age.
Ask yourself what interests you in cycling, reading or computer coding?
At this stage of your life, I would recommend you read, listen and observe from people who are into such careers.
Let's start with cycling. Are you pursuing cycling as a sport or as a passion? If you are thinking about a career I would recommend you follow and read on personalities who have taken up cycling as a career. How did they go about it? What were the challenges they went through?
How many hours per day they invested in cycling. Learning from them will help to better understand the dynamics of cycling and help you think in a direction where you want to go .
As far as reading goes, what interests you? Is it poetry, literature, sports, news, science fiction, fantasy. The options are endless. Keep your options open and read as much as possible so you know what you are most comfortable with. There are careers wherein once can edit manuscripts, read beta copies of novels, or editor jobs. Try to find out how does a day look like for a newspaper editor and learn from it and when the time comes for you to make a choice, you will be better prepared.
Lastly coming to coding. Do you know any programming languages? If not I would recommend you to learn coding skills from open source sites like code.org . If you already have some knowledge of coding, identify if there are some projects in your school you can involve in. You will be able to learn in this process. Talk to your relatives who are working in the IT industry and find out how their job looks like and what can you learn from them.
The world is full of opportunities. Be open to new ideas and learn from the process. All the very best!!!

I am glad to hear that you have a wide spectrum of interest. You can consider to become a software engineering (Computer Coding), Athlete (cycling) or book reviewer (reading).
I would suggest you can do more research how these industries / careers operates. Also, you can attend the relevant subjects in your high school. Then, you can determine which subjects you are interested on and decide what major you would like to take in your undergraduate.
Hope this helps! Good Luck!

Continue with your mathematics,
learn programming from short online courses or friends that you know is good at it, get involved in problem-solving situations and do more of critical thinking.
The job opportunities for coders are much and only very skilled persons are assets.
Examples are Software application developer, Computer systems engineer or analyst, Database administrator, Web developer etc
