By the end of my senior year, I didn't know where to go. Like everyone else, I got an application to the state university but my heart was not in it. I remember attending meetings of those who wanted to enter the seminary and being the only senior there.
I must have confided to Bro. Joe because after graduation, I worked at the electronics lab during the summer. We sorted donated electronic components from Germany courtesy of Miserior. During this time, Bro. Joe drove me to the seminary and arranged a meeting with the provincial superior of the order. I was asking for an academic scholarship. That was going to be my ruse to enter the college / seminary because, when I asked back in grade school, my mom wouldn't let me saying that I was too young.
In the meeting, Fr. Provincial opposed the idea saying that I would need to tell my mom sooner or later. And that is what I did. My mom allowed me this time.
In this post, I want to highlight the effort of this brother in fostering and working for vocations and thank him for doing so.
