Help, need brutally honest answer

I am in desperate need of help, so please answer truthfully.

I have taken calculus multiple times and when I say multiple I mean more than any student should have to, it's depressing.I get A's in other classes with the exception of my first year where I failed a bunch because of a mix family issues and an illness. Assuming I am able to keep up the A's for the rest of my studies, will the nightmare of a beginning and the calculus problem - which has continued beyond my first-year struggle, prevent me from working in investment banking? If you were to hire me, what would you think of this? How should I go about it so it won't be as big of an anchor come internship time? The chance of getting hired ranges from 1-3% so even the smallest set back could ruin someone's chances.
