Car Won't Start

ok...tried to start the car this morning, did not start..i thought maybe it was the battery, called AAA and the battery is fine, headlights start...everything seems normal except the engine struggling....someone help me!

What happens when you turn the key? nothing? clicks? it sounds like it could be the starter. headlights also don't draw as much power as the engine turning over.

This happened to me and I jumped the car and let it sit for a while and the problem went away... Worth a try?
