If you’re asking what you can major in, choose something that makes you happy. No degree is easy, but with hard work and the appropriate help, you can make it through. See the link in the last paragraph.

If you have a learning disablilty that was diagnosed and you have the paperwork to prove it, then colleges and universities will accomodate your needs (extra help, note-takers, etc.). You can also get tutors when you’re in college, whether you have a learning disability or not. If you do well at the community college, you can transfer to a four-year university.

Don’t give up. One of my good friends all through elementary and into the first year of high school was a very poor student (D’s and F’s). She moved after ninth grade and I didn’t hear from her much. I just found out recently that she got her PhD. I think she made the decision that she would give her academics everything she’s got, worked really hard, stayed focused, studied every single day, had a supportive mother, got the appropriate help and didn’t have to worry about financing her education. And it worked. I don’t think at your age she would have believed that this was possible for, but it turned out it was. Keep at it, be determined and do your absolute best. Always remember, anything is possible so never, ever give up on yourself. Always keep trying. I bet you’re smarter than you think you are. Good luck.
