Write an email from a college student called Jim, asking their tutor for advice. The student has been invited to the bouldering national championships, but their Mother does not want them to mess up their studies after she paid so much for their tuition fees.
Hey Sir! Hope you're doing well.
I'm wondering if you could give me some advice on a predicament I find myself in. 
As you know, bouldering is my main passion, other than my studies. In recent months, I've started to improve a lot after dedicating any free time I had to the sport. 
This has led me to win several regional competitions, opening up more possibilities. Just last week, I qualified for the national championships, which take place in the summer. 
As you'd expect, I was extremely happy to have qualified. However, when I returned home to break the news to my Mother, she raised some concerns about how this would impact my studies. 
I totally understand her point of view, as she has invested a lot into my academics, and she only wants the best for me. On the other hand, I feel that I may never get an opportunity to follow my dreams like this again. 

Would you happen to have any thoughts on how I can manage this situation? 

Thanks for your time,
Jim.
