This week — and this week only — we’re featuring three storytellers instead of two!

LuHi teachers Ms. Lowe and Mr. DeAntoni, along with LuHi senior Xavier Viarrial, share their stories of navigating uncertainty and wrestling with purpose.

This might be one of our most relatable themes yet.

At some point, everyone asks:

• What should I do with my life?
• Where am I headed?
• What if the path I imagined doesn’t work out?

Each of our storytellers faced moments where their plans shifted — where roadblocks, disappointments, or unexpected turns forced them to reconsider what purpose really means.

As Xavier asks so honestly, “What happens when God’s plan isn’t my plan?”

It’s a poignant and timely question — not just for high school students, but for all of us.

We hope these stories spark conversation with your family! To help get the conversation started, here are this week's reflection questions:

• What part of the Purpose stories stuck with you?
• Thinking back to high school, did you feel pressure to have your future figured out? Do you think your student can relate to that pressure?
• How would you define your purpose today? How is purpose bigger than just a career path?

No new episode next week! We'll be back with episode 4 of High School Time Machine on March 30th, when we'll cover the theme of having siblings in high school.
