Hey, so I just turned 15 and also recently started high school. I've always wanted to be an architect and now that high school is starting I want some tips to help send me on my way. Classes I should take? Things I should do out of school? Opportunities to look out for? Thanks.
Give it a year or two... maybe three years... If you still want to be an architect... take a college summer course in it... If you find it enjoyable, or interesting, and find your-self doing it for life... go for it.
In terms of classes, take all the math and science you can, especially geometry, trig and physics. Art. Hands on building of anything (wood or metal shop or whatever you like).if they have drafting or cad it won't hurt but it isn't architecture.

High School Questions
Read the book: Architect? by Roger Lewis
go meet people
go find an artist to teach you to draw by hand
go meet a developer and ask to push paper around in the office
go find a builder and say you want to push a broom
go learn how to get people to give you their money
Summer jobs in construction.
Do you like sitting behind a computer day in and day out... for decades... that is architecture.
Run kid, before you even peek down that rabbit hole!
