Sure, you can be a CM.
You're only 13, so if you keep playing and learning you'll get there eventually.
It's not guaranteed, but it's very possible.
you will need a lot of study and practice in order to improve its very hard now in the age of computers where people memorize several lines

Believe in yourself. Do not listen to the people here. Do not mislead yourself. Be confident. It depends on your attitude. By all means you can become a CM. But we (and I) may be wrong. We are not fortune-tellers. You are the only one who can answer your own question.

Try making it to 1300, and then go from there...

That is true.
For example, I play only one variation of one particular and analyse with Stockfish multiple times , and those SF' opening moves becomes very familiar day by day. In some variations. In some variations , I can play exactly identical 3500+ strength SF moves up to move 12, move 15 etc. 
Most of chess games are already decisive at move 30, move 40. If I can play 15 extremely strong moves out of 30 moves, my chance of losing is significantly reduced. This way I try to improve my strength.
to get some title, need to have some good luck too, even if your score against higher title players may be positive, there are "small" games which should be done at highest percentage, but somehow always some "patzer" here and there shows up to make your dream into nightmare, and you try again and again, but not working.
and its funny when we see that some basket or soccer team lost title or playoff by loosing last championship game against some minor team which was on "vaccation" for whole season
So it is necessary to wipe out all the lower rated players, with 99.9%, and than performance against strong ones will come out as result, otherwise this turns out to be never ending story...

Yeah, I mean, it's better to understand the position. That way you can play very good moves all game long instead of playing extremely good moves for the first 15, then kinda ok moves for the next 25.
I guess the only time I'd agree with working extra hard on openings is when that's a player's weakest area. But my impression of drmrboss is this kind of engine prep is more of a hobby.

Yeah , yeah , go play a real tournament and after you lose from 1200 players we can discuss again your stupid theory about memorising 15 engine moves.
How much you understand chess became obvious when you claimed that 3.e5 (advance variation ) in French defense is unplayable and it will dissapear from tournament practice!
The common charactersistic of all engine lovers= They understand nothing about chess!

No offense towards drmrboss, but an online 2000 blitz rating cannot be the benchmark of success???

Tournaments (games ) are not the best way to access a player' success, but there is no better way to assess than competitive games. Try yourself to be 2000+ in blitz and see how strong the other players are (2000+ is the top 1-2% of rating pool in chess.com)
It is a requirement for a player to perform excellently in the tournaments to be eligible for Titles (Titles cant be claimed by writing chess thesis papers/books )
Likewise, exams are not the best way to access a student performance, but there is no better way to access a student' performance than exams.
