You are starting out with the wrong attitude pilot0012.
Just work on training towards that PPL and see how you feel at the end of it (then get some experience outside of the pattern - in other words - do something with that PPL).
Go to college and see what else is out there. Continue to fly as time and money permits. It you are really dedicated that will mean some sacrifices in college. Less beer - more money towards flying. Skip Spring Break and use that money and time towards training.
It is a long road.
