Get some tech skills in Ruby(RoR) or PHP(joomla) for starters, learn HTML and CSS before that. Even some graphical skills(i.e. learning to draw with your hand) are not bad when applied to Photshop or Gimp or ....(any graphical tool of choosing - if it's free go for it..) that supports graphical pad (cheap Genius and later Wacom...) or you can go even without ANY graphics at all...
If your mom is determined to get you through schooling if she has the needs you could go through some basic skill building that could include art drawing classes, web design classes, programming classes, library card, buying (or finding on eMule, BitTorrent or IRC bookz channel) programming books & manuals(Ruby, Erlang, C, C++ -- but first get the basics like in Ruby...)
Just explore for now...
