I'm going to community college, I have one of the worst academic backgrounds in history. But, I have realized, just how important education is and I am willing to do whatever it takes for me to have a good education. I want to major in Biophysics and or double major in Biophysics and Biochem. So, can you all please help me with my question? How can I succeed in college?

Structure your life around your goals of becoming an educated person.
Go to class, always. Take good notes. Read the assigned reading before class Review the notes after. Outline the notes. Visit with the instructor when things aren't clear. Re-read the assigned reading. Outline the readings. Go to the library. Read more on the topic in other publications. Talk with classmates about their understanding of the subject matter. Work. At. It.
In other words, make this your job... make this the most important thing you are doing... become a SCHOLAR. You are not a sponge as a student, you must become an active PARTNER with your teachers.
