Seconding this. I was going to post that link if someone hadn't already.
You can make 8 months of dedicated learning and practice count for a heck of a lot if you're persistent and tenacious, especially early on. But if you get to college, find that you can already do everything they're teaching at the intro level (possible, depending on you), and get bored, it could impact your studies negatively in several ways.
Go for consistent growth and find things to work on that will hold your interest for long stretches of tme.
