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!

Hi Ronaldo!
It's great to hear that you're thinking about college and having a career. Having a college degree is the best step you can take.
Look into summer jobs that are in the business administration field so that you can get a feel for what you would be doing in this field. You can also look into summer college course in business administration to familiarize yourself in this field.
There's no better time than the present to take a step forward towards your goal.
I have no doubt that you'll do great in what you choose to do! Good luck!

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.
