Maize High School senior Brianna Dover is a member of the varsity bowling team and a member of the SAFE Club. “I have loved bowling ever since I was a little girl, my family would take us bowling for a family Christmas gift. ever since then I have been bowling. I joined the maize high school bowling team last year and worked hard to get to where I am at today. I am hoping to have a better season this year and my goal is to get to state for Maize High,” said Dover.
She first got involved in SAFE as a junior. “What made me want to join the program is that I wanted to help our student body be informed about safe driving and also help them be better drives while being safe,” said Dover. “I felt that it was important to be a part of this program at school to show students that it doesn’t matter who you are, you can still help people even if they don’t want you too.”
Dover is involved in other activities at Maize High School including being a member of the yearbook staff. “I got involved with that group because I have always had an appreciation for photography and how you could capture what is going on in the moment. I also love yearbook because you are telling a story about your school in a different way than seen before. Also, in yearbook class you are getting taught how to manage your time. It’s like yearbook class is a small business because you are making a product that people will buy and have for years,” said Dover.
She has developed a passion for helping her fellow students become more aware of the dangers of driving. “What I enjoy most about being in the program is how we are informing teens in high school how they can be safe drivers,” said Dover.
The senior has big plans once she graduates from Maize. “My plans after high school are to go to college and get my associates then go to a four-year school and get my bachelors in American Sign Language Interpretation. I Just got accepted into Butler Community College, Hutchison Community College and Barton Community College so I have some big decisions ahead of me,” said Dover.
She offers this advice to anyone looking to join the SAFE program at their school. “My advice for students who want to join their school program is just go for it. You will find so many people that want to do the same thing you want to do with this program. You can also make friends while doing this program so don’t be afraid to go out there and join.”
