K. Oliver Chandler
2024 Korean Speech – I Love My Mom and Dad
“How can we positively embody the ‘Ohana spirit’ in our lives?”
“Lighting a big cake candle, today’s main character is Jesus. Come to the birthday party we prepared, Jesus. Congratulations, happy birthday, Jesus. Congratulations, happy birthday, Jesus. Congratulations, happy birthday, Jesus!”
“커다란 케이크 촛불 밝히고 오늘의 주인공 예수님, 우리가 준비한 생일 파티에 주인공 예수님 오세요. 축하해요 생일을 축하해요, 축하해요 예수님. 축하해요 생일을 축하해요, 축하해요 예수님!”
[Keo-da-ran Cake chot-bul bal-khi-go o-neul-e ju-in-gong Ye-su-nim, uri-ga jun-bi-han saeng-il party-e ju-in-gong Ye-su-nim o-se-yo. Chu-kha-hae-yo saeng-il-eul chu-kha-hae-yo, chu-kha-hae-yo Ye-su-nim. Chu-kha-hae-yo saeng-il-eul chu-kha-hae-yo, chu-kha-hae-yo Ye-su-nim!]
Oliver eloquently conveyed his response to the question on embodying the ‘Ohana spirit’ by expressing a profound “Affection.” Notably, he possesses exceptional color sensitivity and demonstrates a creative flair in expressing his thoughts. His deep fondness for family and friends extends to a genuine interest in aiding neighbors in Hawaii, especially those affected by the wildfires in Maui this summer. Additionally, Oliver aspires to creatively communicate “I love you” in his Korean class, skillfully incorporating the vibrant color palette and thoughtful design of the postcard he created with Korean words “Love” and “Ohana.”
사랑 [Sa-Lang] is “LOVE” in the Korean language.
