I haven't read them so I can't answer the question about whether you can publish them. I can tell you being a journalist myself that you're doing all the right things.
If you want your writing noticed, evaluated and published approach the editor of your local paper (the town one not the daily) and ask if you can both job shadow reporters as well as write the odd piece. That's what I did many years ago. It helps you build up quite a portfolio and profile and they'll really teach you to write.
Also, you should take your stories and volunteer your time reading them to children at libraries, groups etc, daycare centers to get feedback. Also go to seniors centers and read what you have written to others.
Try turning your book idea into script form for a school play or community theatre production. Many groups have the members write some original material or skits even.
Right now it's not about money it's about getting experience and getting noticed in a positive way. Keep writing, taking courses, learning grammar and definitely try what I've told you.
You might also ask the school paper (if you have a student run paper) to allow you to write there and publish some. Show them to your teacher or principal and ask them what you can do with them and whether you have something here. They would have oodles of ideas, more than mine on how to use your talent and your work to one day land a job.
