Sweetest hello to everyone that has clicked on this post.
Kindest and most appreciating gratitude goes to you for starting to read it this instant.

So I graduated from a Detroit H/S two years ago. I went on into a community college in Dearborn(close to Detroit) afterwards majoring in Pre-Pharmacy, and I screwd up tremendously my whole two years there (getting bad grades in my general education, dropping quite many classes, now being placed on financial aid suspension due to failure of making acedemic progress). Not that I am not capable of doing well in school, it's just about the terrible laziness formed within me over the past 4 years in H/S, and the same laziness went on over college. I never studied, yet I managed to pull a few A-, and B's in some math and sicience classes. The reason leads to all this issues is that I never knew what I wanted to do in the future. Pharmacy was just an option I picked since I didn't see anything else out there, but I knew from the beginning I never liked it.

Nevertheless, now I desire to become a doctor because so much caclamity has taken place the past few years worldwide and I figured that I would like to become a doctor to help those around the world (despite the fact that my English is still very weak at the moment because I've started to learn/speak english just a while back, approx. 5 years ago, and I never put in effort to learn the language, but I will from this moment onward), but It's very hard for me to accomplish that goal right now after how I did so badly in a CC. I don't think any university is going to take me if they see that I can't even manage courses at a CC. So I'm thinking about taking 5-6 hard classes in the fall and ace them to show other schools that I can actually handle the couseload. Would it make a difference? But even if they accept me later, I don't know how I can pay for my tuition there. What should I do??!? Please show this clueless person some guide.

Start getting As and it will make a difference. If you aren't eligible for loans, get a job and take fewer credit hours.

There are many, many threads in this forum made by folks with a poor academic start and were able to pull it together and go on to develop a successful med school application. Read the posts here and you'll find all the information you need.
 
I don't recommend jumping in and taking 5-6 'hard' classes, because if you've done poorly in the past, you need to improve slowly (especially if you have problems with English, it can be rather difficult to make that jump in improvement). Just take what you consider a normal course load and do well in those for several semesters. The schools will see the marked change and figure out what's going on.
