Dear Dr. Chavez, I'm writing to ask about the possibility of doing an after-school internship in your biology lab. I'd love to be a scientist some day! It must be fascinating to work tirelessly for years to solve some important medical problem. And then, just when all hope seems lost, to have that Eureka moment and make that key breakthrough! How truly satisfying it must be.... Regardless of whether she says yes or no, I think your parents really need to let you skip a grade this year...
