March 28, 2025 | 2-3 min read

Sarah Scarboro, originally from Bowling Green, Kentucky, has found Florida College to be a transformative journey of both academic growth and spiritual development. As a junior in kinesiology, focusing on pre-physical therapy, she is thriving in a community that supports her faith and future aspirations.

“I came to Florida College because I saw a place of genuine community that was focused on both academics and faith,” Sarah shared. “It was clear to me that the people here were striving after God together.”

This sense of belonging is one of the main reasons she chose to attend Florida College. She felt it was a place where students and faculty weren’t just working alongside each other academically, but also pursuing God’s will together.

Sarah is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with a focus on pre-physical therapy. Her passion for this field comes from her desire to help others.

“I want to be able to help and serve others through my future career,” she explained. “I want to show others the love of Christ and glorify Him in my everyday life and career. I love seeing more evidence of our Creator through learning about the human body in kinesiology,” she noted.

Florida College has also helped Sarah in her spiritual journey.

“FC has helped me follow Christ by providing opportunities to imitate Him in service to others,” she reflected.

From community service with her peers to leaning on God during tough times, she has learned valuable lessons in how to navigate life’s challenges.

Outside of the classroom, Sarah is deeply involved in campus life. As an officer in the Florida College Health Science Association, she connects with health professionals and professors who are guiding her toward her goal of becoming a physical therapist. She is also a member of Phi Sigma Chi, a society that has become like family to her.

One of her most cherished memories is participating in Society Rush Night, where she and her friends dressed up in blue from head to toe, welcoming new students into their society.

“It showed me how much FC is a family, especially in our societies!” she said.

Looking ahead, Sarah is preparing for the next step in her journey: physical therapy school.

“I feel confident in the education and experience I have gotten here at FC,” she said. “My professors genuinely care for me and have helped me make sure I am meeting all the requirements I need for grad school.”

For Sarah Scarboro, Florida College has become much more than a place of study—it’s a place where faith, community, and purpose intersect, and where she is being prepared for a future of service and impact.
