(2016·辽宁沈阳高三联考)Selena Gomez and I are scheduled to meet at a lowkey coffee shop in Encino.Not wanting to keep the superstar waiting，I arrived at nine,20 minutes early.As I was catching up on emails，Selena quietly scooted into the seat next to me.No bodyguard.Not even a drop of makeup.She was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much.Selena was wearing Bebe shorts.She had a baby face and ordered a hot chocolate.
After making a small talk about what she wore for the shoot，she dived into the subject of her career.Selena declared 2012 the year of movies.She filmed three: Spring Breakers，a drama; The Getaway，an action flick; and Hotel Transylvania, a comedy.Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.
Now that her Disney days are behind her，Selena is at that unstable point in a child star’s career where she is trying to grow up — both as a person(she turned 20 in July) and as an artist.“Being part of the Disney Channel was such a blessing，and I’m super happy with what my show accomplished，but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously.” She continued，“I don’t necessarily feel accomplished.I want to creat a whole different persona when it comes to acting.”
Selena has been working fulltime since she was seven years old and scored a role on Barney&Friends.In 2007 when she was offered the lead in Wizards of Waverly Place，Selena，her mother，and her stepfather uprooted from Grand Prairie，Texas，to L.A.，where they are settling now.
