You can be:

1. A scientist

2. A lawyer

It depends on what you want.

Answer 3

Maybe you don't have to be specific.  Most 16 year olds can't make that decision.  I would say that I am determined to be successful and a good person, and intend to make the world better.  

Answer 4

Knowing what you want to be is not the same as ambition. I think you'd do best to describe what makes you the way you are. Career labels are just holders for the actions you take, the things you do, that contribute to who you are, and lead to professional placement.

My best advice is to focus on the "who" (things that describe you), instead of the "what" (occupations you think will fit).

As an example, based on what you've shared, it seems to me that you like things that make you think, you are focused, hard-working, you have specific interests in science and math (think about why this is, what about those subjects really grabs you?), and you want to help other people, so you might think of yourself as altruistic.

Hope this helps. You sound like you're going to be great in whatever you do.
