Iowa Player with Heart: Emily Anton

Emily Anton was chosen as a Beck's Player with Heart for her commitment and passion on and off the field, court, and course. In school, Emily plays volleyball, softball, and golf, and participates in FFA, FBLA, and the National Honor Society (NHS). She values all of the opportunities she has gained through these activities, as they foster teamwork, discipline, and resilience. Beyond the thrill of competition, she believes these programs have allowed for personal growth, leadership development, and community engagement, preparing individuals for success. In her community, Emily volunteers at a local hospital and at the humane society, as well as with the NHS. Her involvement with agriculture has taught her a sense of responsibility, the value of hard work, and how to be patient while nurturing life. Emily was immersed in farm life growing up, and went from taking naps in the grain cart to asking if she could drive it yet. Through agriculture, she has developed a profound respect for the land that surrounds her. In the future, Emily wants to further her education at Black Hills State University.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
