The Kumu has lived a life of dedication:
dedicated to the subject,
dedicated to the craft,
dedicated to the quality,
dedicated to the instruction,
dedicated to the mastery,
dedicated to the continuity
of
learning we are all in this together;
finding we all have talents that compliment one another;
celebrating our successes and progress;
maximizing our potential so that all may prosper;
joining a world community that hopes and believes in humanity;
Kumu is Hawaiian for teacher,
society's most valuable treasure,
never to be lost, tossed away, or buried,
but cared for and given all the honor
a culture can convey,
for the Kumu is humanity's life-blood.
