How can I better myself to succeed in becoming a Radiation Therapist?

I'm currently in community college in my 2nd year and I have yet to finish all the credentials I need to transfer to get my Bachelors. I find it very difficult to study and focus on science related classes as it's too much for me to handle so I feel very behind. Any advice is welcomed.
