It's good that you already have a clear vision of what you are going to do, but politics is not a static entity, it has to exist in the world of today, and the world in which you will live when you are old enough to vote, may not be the same one we have today. You have to be able to use your life experiences and intellect to assess what are the important issues facing the country at that time, and vote accordingly, not just cling on to outdated and maybe impossibly idealistic views held by you when you were a kid.
