What made Santiago become a shepherd
Santiago would rather know the world than study scripture or learn about mans' sins. He wants to see other lands and see how people live. Santiago seeks truth in being shephard and he seeks God in his travels.
Santiago wanted to travel but his parents wanted him to become a priest. Because Santiago's family wasn't wealthy, the only way to travel was to become a shepard. His father gave him 3 ancient Spanish coins to buy his flock of sheep.
