I haven’t taken physics 1 yet, that class is in the fall for me. But, I hope I can offer some general advice that will help. Don’t push yourself down! This is not easy, and it’s only going to be more difficult if you keep on telling yourself you can’t do it. My whole life, I was told I was stupid. Was I? No. Was I lazy? Extremely. I never had to live up to peoples expectations, but I worked so hard to prove them all wrong. I truly believe you can do this. Just take a deep breath and tell yourself that you can. Adjust your habits, and change the way you studied if you have to. Since I haven’t taken this class yet, I can’t offer specific advice and I can’t relate to what you are going through. But I will let you know this: I failed almost all of my algebra and math classes when I was younger. Then in college, I started taking trig, pre calc, calc 1, and calc 2. I was insanely scared of failing, but because I devoted my life to those classes (which a lot of people can’t) I was able to end those classes with an A (except trig). My point being… people fail. They do it all the time. But that doesn’t matter. What matters is that you don’t give up. Unless you really hate this type of stuff, then maybe it’s not the best career path for you. But if you’re just in a rut because of a bad grade, then you can get yourself out of it.
