The Movie "Bee Season"?

I just watched the movie "Bee Season" and I don't quite get it. Why did she intentionally misspell origami at the end?

    When she finished reading the mystical text the night before and had the 'seizure', she felt she was experiencing the connection with god and all things her father had been telling her about. She had an epiphany and felt in connection with the words and letters in the way she had been trying for so long to achieve. After 'seeing god' in this way she realized that winning the spelling bee was inconcequencial compared to the 'perfect understanding' of the letters and words she had experienced. Since it was no longer important to her in the way it was before, she no longer felt it was important to win. I agree, the movie did not explain this well at all, it glossed over a lot of the internal dialogue that was so well explored in the book.
