by Becky & Stormi from Palermo


A hero is someone who inspires you and who is a good role model. The hero we chose is Selena Gomez. Selena is an actress and a great singer. She was born in New York on July 22nd 1992. Her mom’s name is Mandy Teefy, and she is Italian. On the other side, her dad’s name is Ricardo Gomez, and he is Mexican. Selena’s parents are now divorced.


Selena is our hero because she is part of a group called Friends for Change. She is also our hero because she is independent and still going strong. Friends For Change is a program of Disney Stars coming together and helping the Earth by reducing, reusing and recycling. Selena tries to spend her time spreading the word about Friends For Change.
