i am speaking about college courses and trying to get into a specific program. math and biology have never been my strong points, but i need to do a lot of them to get into the program that i REALLY REALLY want to get in to. do you believe that if i am determined and work hard enough, i will be able to reach my goal?

No.
Just wanting to succeed, and trying really hard will not always get you what you want. Academically or otherwise.
That being said, you should look at your struggles w/ math & bio. If these subjects are so critical to the program/profession you want ... are you sure you will be able to excel in your chosen profession if you don't understand them? Is this really the best course for you?
You should also consider why your are struggling. Are you doing all of the work required? Are you doing extra? It is not simply a question of time or hours spent --- it is how you spend the time studying. Does your study method match your learing style?
Do you understand how math *& bio fit into your chosen career? If you understand why they are important, perhaps it would help you put these subjects into a context which will help you focus more, and thereby learn better. E.g., if your work will require you to do statistical analysis of data, it might help you get through statistics by finding examples of exactly how this is used in your profession. Practical examples in a format of interest to you will go a long way to helping you learn something.
"not really my strong points" is not the same thing as "I've tried and boy, do I suck". It sounds like you have a lot of stuyding and extra work set out for you. But, if you really, really want to enter that profession, be prepared to knuckle down and work at it.

I believe that if you want something bad enough you will do all the work required, even if it is more than some others may need to do because it does not come as easily to you, because you know that the outcome will be something you enjoy.
When you get frustrated with you math and biology just remember that all this hard work will pay off in the end when you get to do something you really want to.

Yes you can if you stick with it. My daughter in law was just like you. She struggled with it and had to repeat it but on day it just clicked and she began to understand it.
Remember that the more you work at it the more you give your self a chance to learn it. You can never realize your dreams if you just give up when it feels like you can't get it. Keep plugging at it and one day it will just click and you will have crossed another hurdle!!
If you never try you will never know.
Good Luck, I wish you the best!
