Need some encouragement

Hey there!

Before I say anything else, what kind of background in biology and chemistry do you have?

Good question by nguyency. What kind of grades have you received in other classes? If you're ordinarily a good A/B student, then you have to start wondering if there's something about the sciences that you have a disconnect with. I'm of the opinion that anyone who is ordinarily a good student can also master the sciences and math. You just need to identify why these courses are so hard for you. As nguyency suggested, you might not have a solid enough background to handle the more advanced work. Although there is some application process involved in anatomy and physiology, for the most part it's absorbing and memorizing the information. Maybe there are some methods for learning the material that will make sense to you. Are you an auditory, kinestheic or visual person? I'm all three and the best way for me to memorize is to use flash cards, walk around spouting the information and repeatedly looking at the cards. Then I'm able to draw on all three to pull back the information during test time. I'm looking forward to hearing what your counselor says.

Also, if your heart is in healthcare, you'll be disappointed with the legal arena. While they are both "helping" fields, as a paralegal you will never get the satisfaction of having done good that you will with healthcare. Perhaps as an attorney you would but paralegals are very much behind the scenes for the most part.
