these teens parents raised this child together till selena turned 5 years old they got divorced and from then selena was raised by a single mother which completely changed her whole life
they have struggled a lot in their life to the point they had to search for quarters so they can get gas for the car, walk to their local dollar store to get spaghettis for dinner. due to all of these hardships, selena spent a lot of time in her grandparents house
mandy (selena’s mom) gave everything up in her life just because of selena, had three jobs to take care of her. one of the jobs were being a stage actress so when she goes to audition she always brings selena with her and her mom noticed how intersted was selena in these stuff
one day they saw a barney & friends audition poster on a board so they decided to give it a try because why not ?
and here where it all began selena was in barney for 3 years in 14 episodes, after that she auditioned for spy kids 3 and she got the role so this was her first movie ever, a few years later she got a part in walker texas ranger.
at the age of 11 selena had her first audition for DISNEY when they asked her about what she wants to do in the future and if she wants to go to college she responded “yeah college but im trying to get into singing and acting career I would like to do both like britney”

after three albums with her band she decided to have a solo career and she started it by releasing her first solo album (stars dance) in 2013 which became a successful album by debuting at #1 on bb 200 with a hit singles (come and get it , slow down)
despite the success in selenas life and how’s everyone thinks it’s perfect she revealed in 2015 that she had been diagnosed with lupus and entered rehab to undergo chemotherapy
selena has been also struggling with depression in a point of her life due to her several break-ups with her ex boyfriend and her health, she dealt with anxiety as well. but this girl is too strong to let a disease or anything ruines her life she keeps standing up no matter what
in 2015 she signed to interscope records (her current label ) and released one of the best albums in her discography (revival) she proved once again how an amazing artist she is and how’s her music is growing , different from everyone else’s coming with a new sound everytime
2016 was an amazing year for selena till one day in the middle of revival tour she cancelled the rest of the shows and rechecked into rehab to focus on her mental health she was MIA her fans were so worried no one knows where she is for a whole 3 months
She made her first public appearance at the 2016 AMAs and gave us one of the best heart touching speeches ever.
in 2017 selena had kidney transplant due to her lupus and the donor was her best friend. a few days before the surgery she made a post on IG saying goodbye to her fans in case she didn’t make it but no one had any idea
she took 5 years without releasing a new album. but a few songs just for her fans, in 2020 she came back healthier than ever and released her #1 song on bb100 (lose you to love me) with her #1 album this year (rare) and we couldn’t be more happier to have her in our lives
this was a story of a girl who knew exactly what she wanted by age 11 and she made it happen. who fought for her place and believed no hardship whether it be family, heartbreak or health could hold her back from her dreams this is the story of “Selena Gomez”
all of the success in her life yet she never forgets about others. selena is one of the few celebrities that are known for their charity work, from the start of her career till this day.
