Selena Gomez has come a long way from being the child star of Disney's 'Wizards of Waverly Place'. The 19-year-old, who is dating teen sensation Justin Bieber, just released an album and a movie but feels that she still has a lot of growing up to do.
The young star, who is part of a band called 'Selena Gomez and The Scene', recently won plaudits for her role of a mistaken socialite in 'Monte Carlo' and her second album 'When the Sun Goes Down' is already climbing the charts.
Admitting that child stars have extra pressure while growing up, Gomez says she takes one day at a time.
"It's important for me to grow and evolve. I feel that I've done my best and that's how I am. What matters the most is that my family, friends and fans are proud of me. Even though I have finished with Disney channel, I cannot disown the fact that I may still have a younger generation looking up to me," Gomez told the media in an email interview.
"I haven't accomplished that just yet. I'm still in the phase of transition," she adds.
I find the name of her second album, when the sun goes down very catchy. Hope it will continue topping the chart list. It is a fact these days that young stars have tremendous pressure these days but she seems to know how to handle such pressures...!
