Sara: My biggest inspiration in life is my experiences that I have had before, and, of course, my closest people.
La Libertad: What is the hardest part of your job(s)?

La Libertad: What foreign languages, if any, do you read, write, and/or speak?
Sara: I speak Spanish, English, and French.

La Libertad: What else, if anything, would you like to tell our readers?
Serena: [My favorite charities are] World Vision, U.N.I.C.E.F. [United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund], Oxfam Intermon, [and] Red Cross.
La Libertad: What would you tell new singers starting out?
Sara: They should fight for their dreams and believe in themselves, because, with hard work, you can get it.
I would tell young people that they should believe in themselves and not believe the people saying that Millennials are a lost generation.
