“I chose this Hawaiian word because I feel the deeper meaning behind this word could vary depending on the person. Every culture has a different interpretation of a ‘God,’ and this word can be used many different ways. I chose this word because I believe the word God is much more than just a word.”

—Cessily Snell-Quirit, Early College Student, Hawaiian 101, Hawaiʻi Community College
