how to prepare for freshman summer internship

Hello, I am currently a senior in high school who will be attending a target school, not Harvard or Wharton, but think something like Stern. I have been trying to think of ways I can use this summer to prepare for the coming year and maybe an internship in the future. Could anyone give some advice on what they would start practicing and doing now so they could start reaching out in the winter for summer internships?
