The death of Selena shook the entire world as the world witness as shooting star crumble in front of their eyes because of the greed of one person.

The film Selena had an immediate impact on my outlook of life as it made me realize that we should cherish every moment of life and that materialistic things should not take us over. Yolanda was taken over by her greed and self desire for more money and it forced her to kill innocence, Selena. In this world i have experience that only the good feel the true pains of life and that despite these hardships we must pull through as life has many more difficulties ahead. The film also had an immediate impact on my trust with people. Yolanda was viewed by Selena as a very close friend and it was this very close friend who took Selena's life. Trust may take year to establish however it only takes seconds to crumble and the film Selena supports the statement. We trust those who hurt us and push those away those who care for us and in life we must not take anything for granted as no day is every guaranteed.
