As a Beck's Player with Heart, Matthew DeBates shows his dedication and passion both on and off the court and course. Matthew was chosen as co-captain of his basketball team and is captain of his golf team. He is also involved in FFA as part of the meat evaluation team and is president of his Nation Honor Society chapter, and serves as the community service project leader. Matthew's favorite part of being involved in high school activities is the feeling of community. No matter what part someone plays on the team, it is possible to contribute to team success. He says the opportunity to play a small role while part of a larger whole helps create a sense of belonging and helps build relationships with classmates and coaches. Matthew is very active in his community through 4-H and his local church. He has held several officer positions in his Juniors 4-H club and in a county 4-H Leaders Council. Matthew currently serves as vice president of his club and is the president of the county 4-H program. Agriculture played a vital role in helping Matthew develop in to who he is today. Through his work on the family farm, he has learned the value of a strong work ethic, learned skills such as punctuality and time management, and has found that there is always a job to be done. Matthew's involvement in FFA and 4-H has taught him a lot about the agriculture industry and has helped him find passion for his future career. Matthew plans to attend South Dakota State University to major in pharmacy and minor in data science. He plans to specialize in drug research and safety with the FDA to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of medication for both humans and livestock.
