My brother didn't do so well in high school, chose not to go to college right away, and felt somewhat inferior to the people around him for a few years. Eventually, he decided he didn't like the kind of work he was doing and the quality of people he worked with and decided to go to massage school. There, he got a taste of biology, anatomy, and physiology. It ignited his interest. Because the subjects fascinated him, he chose to learn things in more detail than was assigned, found college lectures on the internet, and sailed through school easily.
In short, if you're truly interested in what you're doing, it'll be easier to do well—not because you're concerned with your performance, but because you enjoy learning.
