Tell us a bit about what you appreciate about them as an RCB:

It’s truly inspiring to see someone like Emily who embodies such a positive and proactive attitude. Her go-getter attitude and willingness to tackle any problem with enthusiasm and a smile are qualities that motivate and uplift those around her. Emily’s kindness, encouragement, and approachability make her a valuable member of her community.

The way she goes out of her way to help others and her dedication to teaching and mentoring young kids, as seen at the Wheeler County Fair, is heartwarming. Teaching them how to country western swing and line dance not only brings joy to their lives but also instills confidence in them. It’s a beautiful example of the impact one person can have on their community by sharing their skills and positivity.

Emily’s actions serve as a reminder that small gestures and a positive outlook can make a significant difference in the lives of others.
