Aesthetics
During an earthquake drill at school, Karla thinks about how life could end at any moment. The idea both terrifies and frees her.

Philosophizing
What are the methods reflected in this statement:
“Success is defined by society as reaching the top.”
But she pauses. “Defined how? Whose society? And what if I don’t want that definition?”
She crosses out the sentence and instead begins exploring her inner fears—of disappointing her parents, of choosing a course she doesn’t love, of being judged for failing. In her final version, she writes:
“Maybe success is simply waking up each day and trying again, even when no one claps.”
After presenting, a classmate says, “But that’s not how we define success academically. The word doesn’t mean that.” The room goes silent.

Celine walks through the evacuation center after surviving a devastating typhoon. The smell of wet wood and the distant cries of infants evoke overwhelming memories from her childhood, when her family lost everything to a flood. As she processes the emotional weight of the scene, she feels disconnected from the comfort of routine.
Later that night, while staring at the broken ceiling, she whispers, “Is this all life is? Suffering and survival?” In that moment, she questions her faith, her purpose, and whether meaning can still be found in a life that feels constantly tested by loss.
