Recommendations for Air Force Academy

Hey all,
I am 14 years old and I have made the decision to apply for USAFA when I am 17. I am looking for advice on what to do now to strengthen my application. I am a freshman in a STEM high school, I take 10th-grade math, pre-ap biology, CE (Concurrent Enrollment at a college) English, Creative writing, gym, weight training, and Spanish 2. I have a 4.14 GPA (straight A's). I am in civil air patrol and Boy scouts. I have held 3 leadership position in BSA, and color guard twice in CAP. I am planning to graduate as a stem scholar, which requires harder classes, a 3.5 GPA, and 100 hours of volunteer service. I am wondering what classes should I take because next semester I will most likely be taking robotics and intro to programming. Are these the classes the Academy wants? Is there anything else I can do to help my chances of making it in the Academy(considering I live in Colorado, where I think the competition is much higher) ? Finally, do you guys have any suggestions on how to get better at push ups, pull ups, or any of the other CFA items? Thank you for reading this long paragraph!

Good luck to you too! I think you have a lot of time to improve, and I could be seeing you on I-day! (If the other competition doesn't kill me)
