According to Simon, what is faith?

Faith to Simon was that God has a plan for everyone. He believed that God had made him the way he was because he was put here on Erath for a purpose. That purpose he still could not figure out, but he was such a hero. Simon would ask the priest, do you believe that God really does have a plan for me? The priest took a while and hesitated a bit to answer Simon's question, but then he finally spoke, not for everyone. Simon was not put down by the his answer. he still had the same faith and mentality. On a trip with his church class there was a accident and Simon saved everyone's life in the bus. Everyone's life but his. He risked his own life for a whole others, that made him a hero, and Simon's faith was true and real. God had put him on this Earth for a reason.
