I Hate Science and Math...Can I still be a Doctor?

What if I love science and hate math?

I used to be in an accelerated math course in 7th grade, but I was taken out of it by my parents when they freaked out about me having a B- in it. I thought math was difficult for me in that class (it was accelerated and it was different from 6th grade math), but for some reason, my teacher wanted me to keep going with it. Ironically, in 8th grade, I had recieved a math achievement award from my teacher at Honors Night. Also, the math section of the ACT’s were low (but the ACTs do not measure intelligence).

I don’t know if I hate math because it takes me some time to figure it out, and I don’t just get it once I see a problem, or if it’s because I was discouraged from going on to more advanced courses by my parents.
