That's completely normal and it's not possible to change it. That's because your Mac asks you for your login password before loading OS X because the whole hard drive is encrypted

That makes so much sense! Thank you so much. At first I thought it was because I had my iCloud turned on; but, I didnt understand why that could be the case.
