@Armank1, yes, DS stands for Dear Son. It might be informative how he got his Physics internship. The lab did not officially accept HS students, and I (to my shame) told him to forget it. Instead, he read the research papers of some of the principals at the lab, and wrote some emails that indicated his shared interest (and a surprising understanding of the research being done) and a transcript/resume. The lab director was swayed by DS’s resourcefulness and tenacity, and called to ask if I would permit him to intern there. I, of course, agreed. The first day he showed up, the lawyers were upset, because not only was he a HS student, but he wasn’t even 18 yet, and the lab was a somewhat dangerous place if you weren’t careful. His mother and I had to sign a bunch of documents, but in the end he had a great learning experience and was a listed author on published research.
What DS understood, better than his father, was to not accept No for an answer until you’ve exhausted every possible avenue.
Convince a judge who didn’t know he/she needed you to intern. Or a local charity. Or whatever. Good luck.
