Feel free to contact my after hours line to discuss. Keeping your record clean shouldn't be a problem considering the information you shared. However, I've come across cases that were not handled properly and the cost to "fix" the error is much higher after the fact.

You are risking having a misdemeanor conviction on your record which you do not want, especially at such a young age. An experienced attorney can get you a sentencing option that would keep the matter off your record (diversion, deferral program, delayed sentencing, Holmes Youthful Trainee Act (HYTA)), or even reduced to a civil infraction where all you do is pay a fine. Don't take the risk of your future being tainted by this one incident. Consult with an attorney that primarily practices criminal defense to discuss getting this resolved.
