My mom was like,[br]"You're going to camp."

0:00:13.530,0:00:15.140
I was like, "Camp?"

0:00:15.270,0:00:17.530
I said, "I'm too big for camp, I'm 14."

0:00:17.802,0:00:21.002
<i>She was like, "But, see,[br]your father really wants you to go,</i>

0:00:21.002,0:00:23.242
<i>and it's a camp for you[br]to go see your father."</i>

0:00:23.242,0:00:25.102
<i>And I was still skeptical, I was like,</i>

0:00:25.102,0:00:26.802
"Where do we camp at, in a prison?"

0:00:26.802,0:00:28.872
"Because I don't want[br]to camp in no prison."

0:00:29.064,0:00:30.174
(splashing, laughter)

0:00:30.369,0:00:31.909
Yeeeee-hawww!

0:00:32.029,0:00:35.109
<i>(Tyron) She was like,[br]"No, you camp outside the prison,</i>

0:00:35.109,0:00:37.939
<i>"and then you go there[br]during the days to go see him."</i>

0:00:41.273,0:00:44.403
<i>(Tyron) When he was first imprisoned[br]there was a glass,</i>

0:00:44.403,0:00:46.583
and you had to talk to him[br]through a phone.

0:00:46.583,0:00:48.153
And I hated that.

0:00:48.153,0:00:49.633
Oh my goodness.

0:00:49.633,0:00:50.783
Like--

0:00:51.340,0:00:52.520
mm-mm.

0:00:53.257,0:00:54.937
<i>Talking through a phone</i>

0:00:54.937,0:00:57.397
<i>and being with someone--[br]having that conversation--</i>

0:00:57.397,0:00:59.587
<i>it's totally two different things.</i>

0:00:59.587,0:01:01.757
<i>You can't hug nobody through a phone.</i>

<i>(Tyron) I wanted to be a counselor[br]because I wanted to give back,</i>

0:01:11.425,0:01:14.905
<i>because I know it's difficult[br]to not be able to see your father.</i>

0:01:14.905,0:01:18.365
<i>So I feel as though,[br]if I can help them through this process,</i>

0:01:18.365,0:01:22.165
<i>like all the other counselors[br]from when I was a camper helped me,</i>

0:01:22.165,0:01:24.905
<i>I feel as though[br]it would be a good deed.</i>

0:01:25.165,0:01:27.485
So that's why I chose[br]to be a counselor.

0:01:29.035,0:01:32.535
<i>When he gets out,[br]I'm going to be very old. (laughs)</i>

0:01:32.769,0:01:33.989
I'm going to be--

0:01:34.879,0:01:36.039
like 30.

0:01:36.746,0:01:39.296
So that's a <i>long</i> time.

0:01:40.293,0:01:44.203
But when he gets out of prison,[br]I just want him to say he's proud of me,

0:01:44.203,0:01:46.523
<i>that I didn't follow[br]down the same road he did,</i>

0:01:46.523,0:01:48.693
<i>and I learned from his mistakes,</i>

0:01:48.693,0:01:50.873
<i>and that he's proud of me.</i>
