#4) "Self Reliance"

In my opinion, self-reliance means to do what is asked of you to do and not slack off. Whether it be in a group project or just doing chores around the house, being self-reliant means holding up your end of the bargain. For example, I had to be self reliant when studying for my history test because if I didn't study, I would have most likely gotten a bad grade on it. No one is going to study for me so I have to learn the information to be prepare myself for the assessment.

#3 Quote by Nathaniel Hawthorne

"Words -- so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them."

I think that this quote means that when I word stands by itself, its definition is the only meaning it has. When someone has the ability to combine words and put them into a sentence or even a story, then those words have the potential to represent good or evil.

#2 Memoir Title

The title of the my autobiography would be The Sports Guru: Life of Kyle Stackpole because most of my time in life is spent playing or watching sports. It is a huge part of my life and most of what is in my brain is sports statistics and facts. Finally, I want to go into something later in life relating to sports, either a broadcaster or sports writer.
