First, welcome to SOTW!
If you plan to have a career in music, now is probably the perfect time to get a teacher.
I don't know about Hawk brand saxophones, but it is probably an Asian stencil of some type. A saxophone teacher can probably evaluate it better than we can over an internet forum. The standard answer is to upgrade to a used reasonably-priced professional model such as a Yamaha YAS-62.
If you search this forum, you will see that we answer this questions about once a week. I recommend that you start with the teacher and then worry about upgrading equipment as the need arises. The most important piece of equipment is always the player. And a teacher can help the most with that.
