19 Selena Gomez Quotes on Being Confident and Grateful

Selena Gomez is a sought-after American singer, actress and producer who started her career at a young age by starring in “Barney & Friends”, a children’s TV series.

Her real breakthrough, however, was the leading role she played in “Wizards of Waverly Place”. After blooming into a charming young lady, Gomez started focusing on her music career as well. Thus, in 2009, she released her debut album named “Kiss and Tell”.

Selena became popular also for playing an active role in advocating for the world’s most vulnerable children - she is known to be the youngest Goodwill Ambassador in the history of UNICEF.

Sadly, in 2014 it was reported that Gomez had been battling lupus. Along with the physical symptoms, the aggravation of the disease caused depression, panic attacks, and eventually forced her to undergo a kidney transplant. It became a matter of life and death, considering the long waiting lists for finding a donor.

Her friend, Francia Raisa, saved her life, as Selena was two weeks away from kidney failure. As a humble and selfless person, Francia gave the ultimate gift when she donated a kidney to her friend.
