Thank you for a great article! I must compliment you on your writing and use of quotes. Since it is such a personal part of Selena Gomez’s story, I thought it was perfectly appropriate and touching to see what she said about the situation herself. I also just really like how you chose a topic that shows a little more of the humanity of someone as beloved and famous as Selena Gomez; far too often we idolize stars and forget to think about the human person behind the big name. Very well written article!

Being a major fan of Selena Gomez, I was quite intrigued when I came across this article. I personally didn’t know a lot about her, but I was aware of the fact that she had lupus. Despite this, I was unaware of how difficult it was for her because she always seemed so tough. Well written, it was interesting to learn a little bit more about Selena and her life.

First very good article. I love Selenas Gomez so much. I didn’t even know she had Lupus, that must have been so hard. I know a little bit about it and you might not be able to sing again. That was amazing how her best friend gave her one of her kidney. She saved her life and that so crazy how they were the same match. It’s good to know famous people are using their platform for good.

I absolutely adore the way this author wrote this article, great job! I like how a lot of the author’s sources/quotes were from Selena Gomez herself. While I was very familiar with the topic of her having Lupus, I still feel that I gained more insight into her personal battle with it and how she continues to grow afterward. I also feel that the pictures the author chose to share in this article paired well with was what being spoken about and kept the readers engaged.

I love how this article was about a celebrity and her struggles behind the scenes! When I had first heard about her Lupus disease, I was shocked but not a lot of people talked about it. I feel people forget that celebrities are just regular people like us and experiencing things like this, illness, disease, etc. You did such a good job shining a light on this!

This article is really interesting. It focuses on Selena Gomez and her life. I really like how we can elaborate on people and their lives. I really grew up watching Selena. This article provides a lot of information on her, there is a lot that goes on with celebrities. I like how this article raises awareness of the disease as well as Selena’s story. A lupus diagnosis is extremely challenging, and she kept it a secret for three years, which must have been extremely difficult given her continual public attention. She was beginning to deteriorate and was only a few weeks away from needing dialysis, so it was doubly lucky that her best friend was a match for her.

I loved this article! I have always been a Selena fan but I never knew this side of her. This article showed that despite what the camera or public sees, celebrities are real people with real diseases and mental health issues. They are no different then anyone else, despite their platform. I did not know she kept the diagnosis hidden from public eye and while dealing with some of the most traumatic, she was able to still keep a smile on her face. This article shows her life from a lens many people, myself included, did not know existed.

I want to start by saying great article! I’ve been a fan of Selena Gomez since I was a young girl watching her on Wizards of Waverly Place. I remember hearing about her lupus situation but I didn’t know much about it. I find it so beautiful that she decided to keep the scar and embrace it. I was always so unsure of what lupus was and how someone gets it but your article did an excellent job of informing me about everything. It’s heartwarming to hear that she would like to use her platform to bring awareness to the disease. Overall, a great article and very well written.

I’ve always loved Selna Gomez, and most of my generation grew up with her through the Disney channel, especially watching Wizards of Waverly Place. Not really following social media, I didn’t know about the battles that were affecting her like the kidney transplant and when she was diagnosed with Lupus. After reading the article it’s inspiring to see that in order to take care of herself she took time away from social media to focus on herself and her career away from the music industry. When she came back she is now stronger than ever. She is now the most-followed woman on Instagram and she continues to rise through the ranks. She is an amazing independent strong good hearted woman that deserves everything good in the world. Good Job on the article.

I loved reading this article! It is unfortunate the struggles that Selena has had to face throughout her life. The tone of this article is very informative yet allows the reader to really put themselves in Selena’s position. You did a great job describing the disease itself which is not a disease that is normally spoken of. The images you chose to add have a great impact on the the reality of Lupus.
