You could either be a biologist or just practice. You'll get better at math. Please do not listen to the kids who will come on here are tell you that they are special, you can make your mind conform to anything you work hard at and if you don't believe me read into some neurology. NOBODY IS SPECIAL, ITS HARD WORK.

As for the children who have an aptitude for things from a young age its probably accountable to the way the brain developed in youth or genetics but its all completely override-able with work.

If you're interested in the sciences then you are probably decent at math. If you aren't good at it then it's because you don't practice enough.

I have always been scientifically minded since I was really young. My dad was a scientist and was really interested in his maths and yet I have never ever been able to do maths no matter how hard he tried to encourage me. Yes, you could teach me something to do with maths and I would master it no problem. See when it comes to going back to it months later, I wouldn't have a clue. All my life I've struggled and had tutors and additional help for maths but yet I couldn't do it in a test. It's like they say if you're good at English you won't be at maths. I'm good at English and science, but not good at maths. It really has been a burden all my life. It's my weakness.

And yes, I'm going to have a career in biology and environmental science because I suck at maths.
