Should I become a chemical engineer?

[ChEtobe14]

Right now I am in chemical engineering, as a freshman, and am taking my first ChE course which involves material and energy balances. I am right now, on my spring break, still trying to understand the topics because its just not coming to me. I am working problem after problem and I usually keep getting things wrong! I have never had such a hard course like this its insane! I am very motivated but my patience is quickly running up as I have done over hundreds of practice problems to prepare for my next exam and I feel ill-prepared! Is chemical engineering right for me? I would hate to give up on it, but honestly idk if this is normal to be this overwhelmed in chemical engineering?

Use your resources. If you've been working a lot and still not understanding the material get help from the professor, other students or even from physicsforums.com homework section.
