Looking for advice!

I'm looking for advice on the steps to becoming a pilot! I just turned 15 and I want to work in something aviation related, I was thinking about flight attendants but most of the attendants I see on board are always smiling and my friend told me when I smile I look like I'm about to eat her(not in a good way) so the next nearest thing was pilots. Don’t get me wrong I didn't choose pilots bc flight attendants weren't the way to go, I can force a smile out of me, I love pilots I just needed an excuse to get that out of the way. Anyways I found out that flight schools are expensive as hell, so i searched up scholarships with the help of chatgpt i found out that the minimum requirements were: a 6.0 on the IELTS or any English test, a GPA of 2.7 to 3.5+, a Physical & Medical test, and a cover letter or essay on your passion for aviation. I'm pretty much good to go on all of them! I really like physics and I've been getting good marks on it but I just started so I'm not sure. I researched more and apparently there is something called jet lag(that explains why my siblings sleep so much after a flight?), and I don't have it so even better! Also would be nice if you guys could tell me the best countries for students in flight schools! Appreciate yall!
