Radiography - beating myself up about it

Hey guys. I’m currently doing the pre-requisites to apply for the Valencia College radiography program in January of 2027 (yes, a whole year from now.)

I have just started A&P 1. I understand all the topics (sorta struggling on the chemistry though) but I just can’t seem to remember it all. I feel like I am “too dumb” for the radiography program. I have a great GPA, and I am very in tune with medical terminology but I am just really struggling to memorize all the bones, processes, etc.

Am I screwed? I am really doubting myself. I am also worried because I have never done in person school… I have only ever done online school. I worry that I will get into the program, but then drop out/fail out because I am too behind to understand it. I am a really anxious person all around, so I could just be making this all up.

Can anyone reassure me? Is it impossible for someone who isn’t super smart? I would say my IQ is pretty average.

Thanks in advance :)
