Sarah Starchak
Follow messageStetson University Class of 2013
DELTONA, FL
My name is Sarah. I was born in Baltimore, but moved to Florida when I was seven. My father is a music producer/recording engineer, so I grew up in a musical family. I am a musician and entertainer, and my goal is to make a difference by sharing my beliefs and experiences through the international languages of music and dance. I have great determination, and I love to learn. In my lifetime I hope to learn and experience all that I could and to pass it on to others in the only ways I know how.
I should be attending Stetson University in the fall. That is, if I find the rest of the money for it
