Can I still become a mechanical engineer even if I don't excel in math and science?

I'm a female high-school student who really loves things such as cars, motorcycles and planes but I didn't grow up with an aptitude for math like most people. I would give up easily in my math classes and took shortcuts. I can understand the principles behind it and appreciate how structural math is, but I can't apply it myself. I am graduating in a few months, and I want to enter mechanical engineering (as I have a huge interest in engines and mechanical systems) but I'm not sure I can handle the course work that college brings. Should I still try? What kind of mindset did you have when you chose this pathway? Did you struggle with the workload?
