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

00:00:13.530 --> 00:00:15.140
I was like, "Camp?"

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

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

00:00:21.002 --> 00:00:23.242
<i>and it's a camp for you
to go see your father."</i>

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

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

00:00:26.802 --> 00:00:28.872
"Because I don't want
to camp in no prison."

00:00:29.064 --> 00:00:30.174
(splashing, laughter)

00:00:30.369 --> 00:00:31.909
Yeeeee-hawww!

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

00:00:35.109 --> 00:00:37.939
<i>"and then you go there
during the days to go see him."</i>

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

00:00:44.403 --> 00:00:46.583
and you had to talk to him
through a phone.

00:00:46.583 --> 00:00:48.153
And I hated that.

00:00:48.153 --> 00:00:49.633
Oh my goodness.

00:00:49.633 --> 00:00:50.783
Like--

00:00:51.340 --> 00:00:52.520
mm-mm.

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

00:00:54.937 --> 00:00:57.397
<i>and being with someone--
having that conversation--</i>

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

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

00:01:02.390 --> 00:01:04.250
(talking quietly, patting)

00:01:05.630 --> 00:01:07.200
(kids chattering)

00:01:07.398 --> 00:01:11.108
<i>(Tyron) I wanted to be a counselor
because I wanted to give back,</i>

00:01:11.425 --> 00:01:14.905
<i>because I know it's difficult
to not be able to see your father.</i>

00:01:14.905 --> 00:01:18.365
<i>So I feel as though,
if I can help them through this process,</i>

00:01:18.365 --> 00:01:22.165
<i>like all the other counselors
from when I was a camper helped me,</i>

00:01:22.165 --> 00:01:24.905
<i>I feel as though
it would be a good deed.</i>

00:01:25.165 --> 00:01:27.485
So that's why I chose
to be a counselor.

00:01:29.035 --> 00:01:32.535
<i>When he gets out,
I'm going to be very old. (laughs)</i>

00:01:32.769 --> 00:01:33.989
I'm going to be--

00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:36.039
like 30.

00:01:36.746 --> 00:01:39.296
So that's a <i>long</i> time.

00:01:40.293 --> 00:01:44.203
But when he gets out of prison,
I just want him to say he's proud of me,

00:01:44.203 --> 00:01:46.523
<i>that I didn't follow
down the same road he did,</i>

00:01:46.523 --> 00:01:48.693
<i>and I learned from his mistakes,</i>

00:01:48.693 --> 00:01:50.873
<i>and that he's proud of me.</i>
