That's fine, we'll walk through it together. As for a starting array, not a bad one. When you think about assigning them to the different stat blocks, think about what kind of future you want to try for your person.
Your stats have modifiers, depending on their value. You'll add those mods to checks for that stat.
[ +- ] Stat Mods
0 = -3
1-2 = -2
3-5 = -1
6-8 = 0
9-11 = +1
12-14 = +2
15 = +3

The Advancement target changes depending on which specialty you take in that career. That target is what you need to roll each "Term" you spend in that job to see if you advance up the ranks (which leads to more benefits at the end and more skills and such.
