A High School Student Trying To Get Ahead

Greetings y'all, I'm currently in junior year of highschool going onto my senior this fall and since my freshmen year, I have been dedicated and ABSOLUTELY set for IB. I've been following everything within the financial industry. Thing is, I want to get more ahead and I need your advice. Many people have stating to just enjoy high school, but i absolutely have a passion for learning and self-educating myself on IB/PE/HF. My ultimate goal is to enter a HF but through IB or PE. Nevertheless IB is my first goal and of course a target uni .

As a Highschool student, recently, I have been reading Joshua Rosenbaum's IB valuation book . Of course I don't understand completely everything, but I have a solid foundation where I can follow the book. Not to mention, I have founded my school's investment club and have done related finance experience all within this year. Except, I want to expand and get better? Any relevent tips and advices or lessons you can provide me to get ahead as a high school student to enter and break into IB?
