The CIA sounds like an excellent goal, and would be an exciting career.
However, don't be too narrow in your expectations for anything. Stay open to possibilities. Life will offer you lots of interesting opportunities and choices (good and bad, expected and unexpected). You are strong enough to stand up for what you believe in, want, and need... that's great! But also try to be flexible enough to deal with what life hands you.
College is apparently a challenging time for you, but it is just 4 (or so) years of your life. DECADES lie ahead after that, and who knows what they could bring? Be ready for them by knowing what you want AND by being receptive to the new... you may be surprised at how far you go!
It is my sincere hope that decades from now when you look back at the path you've walked, there will be very few regrets (we all have them) and LOTS of satisfaction.
