I would say you have great chances. I would reccomemd taking classes in your field if your highschool offers it. Like photography, computer graphics. Also challenge yourself and take some AP classes. MAKE A PORTFOLIO! And even try and do an internship. You have a year so take full advantage of the time.
Unfortunately my school only offers drama, which I do and I’m in advanced acting. Also I completely forgot to mention AP classes! I took one sophomore year, and am taking 5 AP classes this year.
