Hello friends of Physics forum. I am a high school junior, I will be finishing up finals next week. This year, I took Honors Chemistry, arguably the hardest class i have taken so far. However, I also found it the most fascinating and intriguing class. I am a mathematically oriented person and I love throwing all these formulas around. It is unfortunately my worst grade. I am maintaining all A's this year except chemistry, which is a very low B, on the verge of a C.
I feel my low grade is because I procrastinated with lab write-ups, did not seek to get help when needed, and did not study enough. I never really had to study for any other subjects but when I started to realize chemistry was becoming an issue, it was too late for me to repair it. This is hopefully something I can fix next year in my other upper-level science classes.
I only really care about this because I find chemistry very intriguing and I am considering chemical engineering as a possible major in the future. The stuff we learn in chemistry makes a lot of sense to me and I love the equations and concepts. While this question is more broad in a sense, I am asking for my personal sake in chemistry. Did you struggle with something in high school that you later ended up loving a lot? While my career outlook will probably change in the future, it is hard for me to accept "defeat" against chemistry here.
Thanks for any responses
