My first guess would be the solenoid, but there may be a problem in the switch too. A few minutes with a multimeter checking connections will tell you.
I don't know how hard the starter is to remove, but you might start by pulling the starter and solenoid and see if you can replicate the problem in a less threatening situation. Then you can troubleshoot the switch vs. the solenoid.
Good luck, Ebben. It's great to see you interested and willing to dive in at your age. It's great you have a Dad that is so supportive, too. Nothing will make up for the loss in your family, but having a good people around you will help.
