<human>: Hi Reddit, so I need your help!

I'm a Junior planning to apply to university in the fall however I feel that it would be in my best interest if I took a year off to go to a community college instead to improve my education because it's cheap and I don't think I am prepared educationally wise for what I want to major in.  My dad disagrees because he believes that community college education 'isn't worth a dime' and it would be better for me to enter university right off the bat.

Basically, I want to major in a computer science (Think of programming) because of my fascination of computers, video games and technology but the biggest barrier that is holding me back is my math skills. My math grades over the past few years fluctuated between C's to B's. However, this year I ended last semester with a B+ and currently have a regular B in the class but this is because I'm taking IB Math Studies (to all those who know about the IB diploma) which is easier than dirt. It's not that I hate math, it's just takes me longer understand the material. 

As for computer experience, I have taken a class at my school of basic "programming" which isn't much considering all we did was play on Scratch and Flash and then spent the last few weeks looking at a little bit of Java. I enjoyed the course though because it seemed that programming was more of learning another "language" then engaging in math. How much of this is true? o.O If so, where does the math come in?

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: I have trouble with math but I want to try to learn about programming. Will I get eaten alive at university or should I head to community college for a year to improve my math skills?
