Hello everyone, my name's Jordan and I'm new to these forums. I went through about 3 pages of recent Career Guidance, and searched for what I was looking for, but didn't find it. So I decided to make this post!
I am currently in the 11th grade, and studying the three sciences my school provides, as well as am currently in the Enriched Math class in our school (We consist of 8 students. The rest dropped back into regular math. Small class, hehe). I have a love for both Mathematics, and Physics and want to start getting more into Physics. What I really want to do, is try to find a lab I could volunteer at, even if only for awhile.
What was recommended that I do, was to ask a Physicist if I could volunteer 2-3 times a week, for 3-4 weeks. That way I get to try being there, and if they like me they could always invite me back. I've sent out one email to a Physicist I job shadowed, asking if he knew anyone I could contact.
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how I could find more people I could contact. I would also love volunteering at a biology lab, which wouldn't be as ideal, but still an interesting experience! I'm just extremely nervous to send out the first few emails, and help on figuring out how to find people I could email, would be extremely helpful. Thank you all in advance!
And any other advice on how to approach this, would be much obliged!
