In my world its not a recent event that showed this pioneer really stand up and be strong. A little while back a true tragedy occurred a car accident in Pleasant Plains, AR with a one person crash Dennis Merritt of Batesville, AR was in a single car accident.
His son who is one of my good friends couldn't believe this event had happened. I mean its not like you ever can imagine what it would be like to not have your dad in your life anymore but only in your spirits. Sam to me is a true pioneer because even though he lost one of the most important people in his life he kept moving forward by raising the bar. He knew his dad wouldn't want Sam to just die in sorrow and never let it past him.
He knew dis dad would want him to keep living his life to fullest just like he did so Sam could have a successful life just like his father. So that was exactly what Sam did he kept living a normal life not showing any sorrow even though he had much sadness built up he kept living like a true pioneer. He stayed in football, he kept going to school, and also keeping socially active. Sam lived through a HUGE tragic event that i could never imagine living through so this is why to me Sam Merritt is a true PIONEER.
