8th Grader Preparing for High School

Hi guys,

I’m an 8th grader about to graduate middle school and going to a competitive target high school. I haven’t really learned much about finance because I’m 12 years old (I know one of my friends’ dad does accounting, which is the same thing?), but I was wondering what you guys were doing at this point and how I can best position myself to land MF PE. Any tips would be appreciated, thanks.
