Hey Ryan, welcome!

Here is the best thing you could do right now, read, read, read, read and read more.

Here is a good list of books and resources from the Michigan Hawking Club website:

Get in touch with some falconers close to you and ask if you could tag along when they fly their bird this fall/winter.

I got interested in falconry at about your age and it took me until I was 21 before I got my first bird. It was a long wait but worth it.

Best Regards,
