Selena Gomez from a young age was a smart and talented girl. Selena was born on July 22, 1992, Grand Prairie, Texas, U.S. She was influenced by her mother to start acting, so Selena tried out for a role on the PBS children's television series Barney & Friends and as a result, appeared regularly on the program in 2002-04, she also audition for the Disney sitcom Wizards of Waverly Place, which she got and acted as Alex.

The reason I choose Audrey and Selena has my hero is because both woman are very inspirational and admirable people. Audrey even with her large celebrity status, she was always humble, polite and a little reserved, but she used her status for the right things/reasons and the right time, she never misused what her status did for her. Audrey passionately spoke about the conditions and the suffering children, she met on her trips to famine countries, she spoke for the people that could not speak for themselves. As she herself said, "I feel so strongly that's where it all starts, with kindness. What a different world this could be if everyone lived by that." As Selena's career and celebrity status grew, she started to become a idol that all girls from different ages looked up too. With this type of power she influenced girls to do what they believe in and never give up on that dream. When Selena became the ambassador at the age of 18, this was her opportunity to spread her ideas that can make difference to the less unfortunate in famine stricken countries, but also show girls of all ages that it doesn't matter if you are a celebrity or just an ordinary person, anyone can make difference if they believe in themselves. Just like Audrey Hepburn.

These two wonderful woman have influenced me so much that I try everyday to make a little difference in my community, even if it's just volunteering at the community center or helping my neighbors, I'm still making a difference in my own way, just as Audrey and Selena made a difference by being the ambassadors for UNICEF. These two inspirational woman are MY HEROES !!
