Want to be a PA, but struggling in beginner classes..

Rant/vent

i want to be a PA, it’s perfect for me because it’s not a nurse, neither is it a doctor. It is a way to help people and clinical hours will help both my resume and my income, and it’s a way to enrich my life.

however, i’m struggling a lot in beginner biology and gen chem 2. i look at the material and i don’t understand. i really try to study but it’s scary and my grades.. i had to withdraw from bio 1 fall semester.

all my premed friends do really well in their classes, they enjoy their classes and labs but it’s hard and scary for me. i know that it is also hard for them, but i don’t have a stem brain honestly

does anyone have any advice at all?
