#4 Self Reliance

I believe self reliance is the act of relying on yourself to do what is best for yourself and others. Almost as if you have confidence or trust in yourself to be able to decipher what will be most beneficial to you in life. If you do not have self reliance, then it is most likely that you will not make the correct decisions or even just work yourself to the best of your abilities.

Number 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 believe this quote means that words, as innocent as they may look, are powerful tools and express the feelings or emotions of a person so definitively if, however, they know how to utilize them properly. Words speak loudly and can sometimes express more than actions.

Memoir Title

The title of my autobiography/ memoir would be Nicole Panagakos: A string of musical moments. I believe this title would be appropriate because many of the most significant moments in my life I relate to music with. I always hear or see music in some way during my life or use certain moments to influence how I play piano and color each piece of music.
