Hi Granny!
This is a great question to have and I think that the answer is quite simple: do the things that you like to do. You listed singing, cooking, and reading as some of your favourite hobbies--those are all super great and it's awesome that you can identify what you enjoy doing!
I would suggest keeping on doing those things and finding out ways to do them with other people too. Is there a book club at your school? If not, would you want to make one? Does your school/community have a choir that you can join? Also for cooking can you start a blog or create a personal recipe book?
Long story short: continue doing the things that you like to do and maybe even branch out to do those things with other people :)

After 10th grade I would highly recommending pinpointing your current passions and ambitions and researching what programs exist out there to help create some of the technical skills needed for a future career in your area of interest. These programs exist for almost every passion out there and it is a good way to boost your high school resume while at the same time providing you the skills necessary to excel at what you love.
For example:
If my passion is film some questions I would think about are what clubs exist at my school or in my local area that are related to film? Is there an intro screenwriting course I can take? Is there an filmmaking camp or summer program? Are there acting programs I can do?
I would also look at college's specifically and programs they offer to high school students.
I've listed some links I found based upon a quick search for highschool filmmaking programs - don't be afraid to just google your passion and see what is out there that can develop your skills!

Hi! Highschool is an exciting time in one's life and it is the perfect time to explore areas of interest! Maybe this summer you could look around for a job in your community. I was a summer camp counselor at my local high school and it was the perfect way to make money while helping others!
