I am currently in 9th grade and have been into astronomy and basic physics for a few years now. I'm thinking about (once enrolled obviously) majoring in physics.
Only problems are:
1: Pretty good at math but struggle a bit and end up forgetting a lot of information (at least in algebra) and I know a lot of math issues come down to study ethic and teaching but considering physics extremely math requiring, I might struggle so I'm curious about your thoughts.
2: While interested in astronomy (would most likely pursue astrophysics at some point) and a lot of the physics around the universe (find things like general and special relativity quite fascinating), I feel like I end up trying to convince myself to go for physics more then wanting to which is definitely a problem. I do like physics and am interested in pursuing it but as I look more and more into the nitty gritty of it (amount of work, extremely complicated physics, etc.) I end up getting turned off. I would love to know what you guys thing!
