Get a pro model. If you really intend to become a professional some day, then you need to start thinking like one.
Anything less than a professional model is going to hinder your progress. The clarinet you have now has already set you back for sure. Someone who wants to be a professional musician and is not playing on a professional horn is obviously not very serious about what they're doing.
I am not trying to sound harsh, just realistic. The clarinet players your age who also want to be pros are already playing on better horns than you, sound better than you, and are making swifter progress, mainly because their instruments are better than yours.
They are your competition for that scholarship you want. If you want to beat them to it, you need to be playing on a horn that is going to not only respect your talents but help you realize them. Right now you are disrespecting yourself by playing on such a poor horn.
So find a way to afford a top-notch clarinet. You'll feel better about yourself because you'll know you're really becoming serious. And the better horn is going to be easier to play, which will make your work more satisfying. All this will make you excited about pursuing your dream.
