When it comes to "oldies", my choice is "Hey Jude" by The Beatles. I love how it can be such a relaxing and somehow kind of sad song and towards the end, thanks to Paul McCartney's screams and the chorus singing in the back, turns into such a happy song. Truly beautiful song that you can listen to whenever you're feeling a bit sad. The first time I heard that song was off my mom's Beatles "1" CD when I was just 9 years old. And ever since then, I've fallen in love with all of The Beatles songs

Favorite Songs
I am a huge music lover and you can usually find me with headphones on or with music blasting out my car. To pick only 2 songs as my "favorite" is like picking your favorite child. But if I had to chose my favorite song from 2013-2014 I'd choose "Rap God" by Eminem. The amazing speed at which he raps is truly brilliant. He goes completely off on such an unique beat. In 6 minutes, he demonstrates that he can still embarrass any other rapper. Along with that, I've taken it as a challenge to try to memorize every lyric and try to rap it along. I remember that I first heard that the track had been dropped on Twitter and the link provided took me to YouTube.

Proposed Magazine
The SF Giant Weekly is not your typical newspaper. It is a newspaper created with the sole purpose of covering everything Giants related. This way Giants fans all over the world can remain up to date with their favorite baseball team. There is no real competitor with this magazine except the local newspaper that could also cover the Giants. Each magazine is only $2.50 which is very much affordable. The yearly subscription is at an amazingly low rate of just $15. We can afford to sell this magazine at a very low price with the contributions of our sponsors. Because we are the official magazine of the San Francisco Giants, all of the Giants sponsors also sponsor us. These include Nike, AT&T, Levi's, Budwiser, and Coca-Cola. In the first issue, there would be articles analyzing the Giants' amazing game 5 win. In the issue, there will be an in depth summary of game 5 and Travis Ishikawa's game winning home run, coverage of the 2014 NLCS MVP Madison Bumgarner and the awards ceremony, analysis on Gregor Blanco and hit new found hitting streak, fan's opinions on Tim Lincecum's absence in the postseason, and lastly, a well developed World Series predictions. Our main goal would be to keep our fans up to date with their team.

Influential Books
In my life I have read my fair share of books both informative and for pleasure alone. I cannot name one book as my "all time favorite" however, there are at least 3 books that I can label as "influential". This list includes Yo Soy El Diego de La Gente (an autobiography of argentine soccer legend Diego Maradona), Living History by Hilary Clinton and Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom.
Being fluent in both spanish and english, I'm able to enjoy many fantastics books in spanish as well. Yo Soy El Diego De La Gente is a thrilling autobiography that visually describes the entire carer of the greatest soccer player in history, Diego Maradona. I first read it as a 9 year old who was falling in love with the game and to read how beautiful and exciting the life of a soccer player is really woke up my inspiration and helped me decide that it was going to be my life long goal.
In middle school, I became very intrigued with the entire presidential election process. This interest was awaken as I witnessed in 2008 how Barack Obama won the presidency of our country. In 8th grade, with the recommendation of my sister, I read the famous Living History by Hilary Clinton. I must admit that it was a fantastic book that really tempted me to join politics. I loved reading about all the things Bill Clinton did to finally become president and all the minor details of his presidency. Although I no longer have a desire to run for public office but I still am fascinated by the presidential election.

I must confess, I have not finished reading Tuesdays With Morrie. However, the few chapters I have read are truly inspiring me every time I read it. It really helped me when I was going thru rough times in my life. Truly teaches you to look on the positive side of life and to really appreciate what you have. Personally, I believe I have grown as a person since I began the book. Opened my eyes to help me realize how blessed I am.

My list of most influential books really could not be more different yet somehow they have all influenced my life greatly. I still have many books to read which may end up earning their spot on my list.
