Unless the Disney channel has been lying to me, a burning desire is all you need to accomplish anything. Do you have a firm grasp on Algebra? If not you should find a book or something on it and read it until you do. Without a *really* strong understanding of Algebra, you aren't going to be able to do much in terms of math. And there are probably ways to change the way you think, with a lot of work and practice or something.

Out of curiosity, why did you switch from Physics to English? That seems like a pretty big jump. If you even majored in English. I may be remembering incorrectly.
