One DHS graduate is reflecting on her achievements as well as looking forward to the future.
DOTHAN, Ala. - SGA president Brianna Mejias has made the most out of her time at Dothan High
Her path to graduation was no easy journey. Brianna was born in Puerto Rico. In 2017, when Hurricane Maria hit, she and her family were forced to leave behind all they ever knew and evacuate. Among several adjustments, Brianna had to learn the English language in order to continue her education. When it came time to picking a college, Mejias was happy to choose Wallace College, and is paying entirely with grants and scholarships she’s received, including one from the Dothan Rotary Club.“What I’ve been through has taught me a lot about helping people, I’m all about the people, I’m all about helping them,” Mejias says.
