  Hi,
  
  Of course you stand a chance of being a scientist! Having a passion to study something is far more important that grades. If you continue to study science subjects, there is nothing stopping you becoming a scientist!
  
  Scientists are a very broad and varied group of people. Not everyone has to go to university and not everyone has amazing grades. I work with a few people that failed science A Levels but are still working in science now. Lots of big scientific companies (for example, pharmaceutical companies) allow people to train with them straight after school and don’t need you to go to university.
  
  Good luck!

  Hi Sheldon Cooper,
  
  Yes, of course you do! It’s never too late to change!
  
  As I said in my other post, you just have to believe in yourself, and be motivated and determined to reach your goal, however you can!
  
  You can do anything if you want it enough and you are willing to work for it 🙂
  
  Steve
