Try to build a system (ex. LED display system, fan control system, ... ) as a start of HW EE journey. It would get more challenge with more functionality in the system design. You might need to study components spec or industrial standards for design compliance. There might be some design defect needed to be fixed with engineering tool (ex. digital meter, digital scope, and logic analyzer, ...). After those work, all function is work and the system is operated correctly. It's time to present the product to your family, friends, and teacher. It will get much fun and fulfilment in the approach.
yes sir! thank you sir, i will do that within 2 years and ill do it to perfection sir.

Interest in getting your hands dirty is great, I wish I had that interest when I was young. You can start by practicing taking apart/reassembling electrical stuff around the house and understanding the purpose of each components. Volunteering to do electrical works around the house like replacing socket outlets, fuses, relays will be great too. Or you can get a part time job in a electrical repair/supply store. There are also tons of great youtube channels like Electroboom to learn from.
However, most importantly, before you start, you need to understand electrical safety concepts, especially the relationship between voltage and current, and earthing. Electricity is invisible; one mistake can cost you your life. For example, always use a test pen/multimeter to verify that electrical circuits are dead before working on it.
