Should I even consider majoring in Computer Science?

I’m a senior in high school and I’m planning on going to community college. I definitely am interested in Computer Science or Business. I did very bad in high school and I really regret not trying harder in school. I go to a very competitive high school and being demotivated as well as bad study habits didn’t help my case. My plan, as of current, is to transfer to USC as a sophomore and if that doesn’t work out, stay one more year and transfer to UC’s. I was wondering if this is a realistic goal since I’m not really good at math. I’m currently in Algebra 2 so that’s saying something about how proficient I am at it… UCLA requires taking Calculus 1, Calculus 2, Calculus 3, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra. I was wondering how difficult these courses are. I’m also wondering if I should change my major? (I’m pretty scared that I’ll take Computer Science and learn in the middle of the semester that it’s too difficult/disinterested and I’ll have to restart) Please help!
