Well, just keep taking science courses in high school! Then, when you're done that go into university for a science degree of your choice.

As for a mentor, talk to your science teacher at school or any science undergrads you might know.

As for "borrowing a lab"...that won't happen until university, but you could probably ask for some time in the high school lab.

Just keep at it! Good luck! :D

Answer 2

Talk to your teacher. Some schools might allow you to have an independent study where you can explore a topic of your own choosing with a teacher in lieu of a class.

Answer 3

I assume you want to get involved with scientific research involving Chemistry. Just talk to the Chem. teacher at your high school and maybe he/she can point you in the right direction.
