Timothy-John “Keoni” Lorenzo quotes a Hawaiian proverb, “Pua nā kupu I ke kumu.” “The seeds flourish because of the trees.” He points to the allegory of trees to teachers and seeds to students, as parts of a single life cycle, in which the role of each is not only significant, but indispensable and commutable: The teacher becomes the student, the student becomes the teacher. This valuable lesson from Hawaiian culture is meaningful in every learning context.
