Ask most 7-year-olds what they want
to be when they grow up and you can guarantee that the responses will be
typically fantastical, from spacemen and cowgirls to firefighters and rock
stars. But all Chloe Bridgewater wants to do is work for Google (well OK, and
also work in a chocolate factory and be an Olympic swimmer). She even sent them
a hand-written job application, which was the only letter she’s even sent
except for one to Father Christmas. And guess what? Not only did she get a
response; the response came courtesy of none other than the CEO of Google
himself, Mr. Sundar Pichai.

When a 7-year-old Chloe wrote a
letter to Google, she never expected a reply from the CEO himself!
The letter was only the second one
Chloe had ever written. The first one was to Father Christmas
After seeing the pictures of the
beanbags, slides, and go-karts at Google HQ, Chloe couldn’t resist writing them
a letter
She got this reply a few days later
“Dear Chloe,” reads the letter.
“Thank you so much for your letter. I’m glad that you like computers and
robots, and hope that you will continue to learn about technology. I think if
you keep working hard and following your dreams, you can accomplish everything
you set your mind to – from working at Google to swimming in the Olympics. I
look forward to receiving your job application when you are finished with
school! : ) All the best to you and your family, Sundar Pichai, CEO
The internet was quick to praise
Chloe’s motivation and character. This girl is really going places!
