I would like help with a project I'm required to do during eighth grade.

Just to be clear, Kai was asking you as an adult they feel close to
and who knows this subject, not as a Fusion teacher.  They just
didn't have any other way to contact you.

If the only way to make this work is for us to treat you as a Fusion
teacher for this purpose, then that's fine, we can do that, but I
just wanted to make clear that that wasn't the nature of the
request.  I'd definitely prefer to get some other contact info and
continue this discussion outside of Fusion.

There's a thing called the eighth-grade project at the school I'm going to next year, and the teachers there have agreed that it's ok for me to work on the animatic I'd started before, but part of the project includes me needing a mentor, and you're the only person I can think of who can help me in that regard. It won't take a lot on your part, just an hour a week at a designated time and place that we can discuss.
