judging by how quickly you recovered from deletion, how you got up and decided to reclaim what is rightly yours, I doubt that anything can keep you down You do relise that a little tutoring or "Math Club" will work wonders. If you want this badly enough...and you already know where you fall short, then you are more than 1/2 there Claim what is yours. Let me know how you proceed..

You do need to have solid math skills and chemistry to be a pharmacist. But stop with the negative self-talk by saying you're "bad" at them. Usually we think we are bad at the things we either don't really like, or just haven't put enough effort into learning. The good news is that when you go to college, you are there to learn. You do not go in to it knowing everything. Your teachers are there to teach, so if you're having trouble, talk to your teachers privately for assistance, or find a tutor at your college, many offer them for free. Keep trying, and don't assume you can't do it. Good luck!

I want to become a pharmacist as well. Math is not an easy subject for me. My Parents told me to start working harder and I have extra classes with math to. If u keep doing it...it'll be better and better.

It so happens I know a paharmacist. Unfortunately, they do have to be good at math and chemistry. BUT: Why are you not good at these things? Is it you? Your teachers? Lack of confidence? Bad courses? If you can figure out how to overcome the badness enough to get good solid B's - then I see no reason why you should not try become a pharmacist! There are several possible reasons: 1) You are bad because you do not work hard enough at these two hard subjects. The solution here is tutoring and hard work. 2) You are bad because you are slow to learn, but once you do learn, you remember like an elephant. Again tutoring and hard work might solve the problem. It is simply that you are a "late bloomer" but when you bloom... you bloom big! And so, this means a BA in pharmacy, is not at all beyond your reach . 3) Your teachers were not very good at explaining things, so different teachers would make a big difference. Or perhaps the textbooks were lousy. I have seen this. Here again, tutoring and hard work can overcome these things. Again, here a BA Pharm, is not beyind your reach. 4) The courses you tried to take so far, were above your level of ability. This means your "learning foundations" in these courses might not be good enough. This can be solved too. But it is called catching up. Might need a whole summer school! There may be other factors/reasons, but these are the top ones. So, you need to approach your teachers and your guidance counsellors. Here you can determine why you did not do well (or as well as you wanted to), why you have a hard time, and so on. If on the other hand, you are doing well (B Grade Level), depite "not being good" in the topics, well, I have news for you: You simply do not know that you ARE good that them. You do the work, and you are getting the grades. So you have no worries. I'd have to know more about you to give you some answers. I'm 52 snow kid. I've seen the sun rise and set a few times! So I encourage you to print this answer out, and go and talk to the teachers and the counsellors. If you have the potential, the time to do it is now, not later on. And you seem fairly smart. Now being smart and determined is good! You only need to find out what the "bug" is that is in your way. Remember, there is more to being a pharmacist than handing out pills... -- You might become a pharmacy manager. -- You might end up inventing those pills (A 'shut Pierre up pill' would be a great invention!) -- you could end up being a pharmaceutical salesperson. Here your knowledge of pharmacy is not so critical, but your skills at explaining the value of a new drug to doctors is. You unfortunately still need the science degree, though. So there are several possible outcomes that so such a degree could lead to. Look into it.
