Seeking advice about oncology or becoming an oncologist?

Hello, I am a freshman in high school and I was wondering how many years of schooling it takes to become an oncologist. Also what classes should I be looking to take in college or even now in High school? If you have any tips let me know I've been wanting to go into oncology since I was 10 so I'm dedicated.

What are some extracurriculars I could do that is stem/medicine based?

I’ve had a lot of ideas on what Extracurriculars I want to do but they just seem too much for me to accomplish as a 16 year old. Some ideas I had was formulating an eco friendly sunscreen using chemistry principals but I would assume you need to have a degree in chemistry. Another idea was creating a skin cancer detecting app, or starting a program by going around to different schools, and/or community centers providing information on skin cancer and hosting events with the help of volunteers from my school. Honestly this all just seems really complicated for me to do especially without a mentor. I plan to start volunteering at a kidney center next month and get a part time job on the weekends. At the moment I am applying to stem/medicine based internships. I need some advice. I am 16 and in 10th grade. I plan to major in chemistry and I aspire to be a dermatologist.

To all pediatric oncologists: what keeps you motivated whenever you encounter a terminal child?

I have wanted to become a pediatric oncologist for 4 years now. But, whenever I describe my aspirations to an adult or mentor, they tell me that it will be too hard and mentally taxing. So, what keeps you going whenever the job brings you down?
