Is it strange for a 13 year old to do this?

I'm 13 and I want to be an officer in the Marine Corps through the NROTC program, so I made a list of how I as going to accomplish this and put it on my bedroom wall. I also have a picture of Douglas MacArthur (my ole model). The list started with getting good grades in middle school, how many kids I will have, the college I will go to, and the list went all the way to when I retire and even to where I would be buried. I also put little slips of paper that named the qualities of a leader all over my wall. I also have quotes about leadership on my wall. I was wondering if this made me strange. I'm also OBSESSED with getting good grades. mgan: Marines are known as Devil Dogs, I'm just a kid so i'm just a devil puppy

1. You are setting goals for yourself, that's completely normal. I respect you for what you aspire to be and hope you can accomplish what you want to do
2. Motivation is a good thing. Unmotivated people might hate on you because they look bad by comarison, but it is not strange to be motivated. It is good. Best of luck in your life; you will do great things.
3. I am very proud of you! For someone of your age to be so determined is astounding. You have goals that you want to reach and things to accomplish in your life, and that makes you unique. Maybe someday you will become our next president. I wish you all the very best.
4. It is strange that you refer to yourself as "devil pup"!
