STEM includes science , technology , engineering , and mathematics . When I was younger, my family pushed for me to go into these types of fields. I pushed back, saying that I wanted to go into the arts . They pushed back too.

CULTURE & IDENTITY • APRIL 2026 Kapamilya vs. Ohana: Why Fil-Ams Are Trading Tagalog for Hawaiian More than 118 years after the first Sakadas landed in Honolulu, Filipino Americans are borrowing a Hawaiian word to describe their most Filipino value.
