I think that his decision to become a priest was a good one because he followed what his heart desired and he knew that he wanted to serve God. I think that I would make the same decision if I really felt that I had to follow God and I wanted to change my life the way that he did. His choice shows me that you can do whatever you want if you try you hardest and just believe. Even if you are giving up what you have been trying to achieve all along, you can put it aside for God, if you would really like to.

I think that he made the right decision. He never thought that he would actually ever go into priesthood, but in the end he knew it was his calling. I think that if I really got in touch with God as much as he did that I would have made the same choice. His choice really shows me that if you have the chance to do something great and that will fufill your hapiness that you should really try to achieve that goal. I think he did the right thing and that he knew that priesthood was his calling even if it meant giving up something that he had worked so hard for. He knew that he had to put God first in his life.

I think he mede the right decison because that was what he truly wanted to do and if he didint become a priest he would of had to live with that his whole life. If i felt that being a priest was my true calling i would have pursued that dream. It tells me that its important to always pursue what you want most because if you dont you might end up making the wrong decision. Also its never to late to make the right decison.
