I remember almost everything because they were happened recently. Especially I remember the train accident close to Santiago de Compostela, the bombs in the Boston Marathon, when Nelson Mandela died and when Lou Reed died.

In my feeling, I remember especially the train accident because it was a piece of news that I listened to when I was abroad, and when you are abroad and you listen to sad news about your country, you normally feel more intensely.

I would want to happen in 2014...
-Plenty employment in our country, with quality and well paid jobs.
-Finish corruption and corrupt people in prison for ever.
-That people wouldn't think only in money.
-That the church occupies only what should occupy. And forget about the obsession with homosexuality and abortion.
-Culture like a tool of learning and not of doing business.

This video is very interesting, there are amazing pictures, and it has provoked me a lot of feelings. I remember a lot of things, but some of them seem to me that they happened long time ago.

I can remember very well: The cruise accident, images global warming, the accident to Santiago de Compostela, the bombs in Boston Marathon, when the new Pope was elected and when Nelson Mandela, Hugo Chávez an others important persons died.

The events had the greatest impact on me have been news items about the accident to Santiago de Compostela because one friend went by the train, and she has effects yet, and the news items about small babies because it has provoked me a lot of tenderness.

The five things that I hope to see happen in the world in 2014 are:

- The poor finish in our country, especially childhood poor.
- Unemployment people find a job with a good salary.
-The corruption finish in our country and everybody follow the law.
-The scientists will be able to treat Cancer, because I know a lot of people ill in this moment.
-That every body has a good reason to smile.
