As the packed bus made its rough journey to Camp Sunshine all Dustin could think about is his mother. Why did she agree to move to the city, but then take her own life on the moving day? He could have began a new life with her. He clenched his eyes shut trying not to cry in front of his comrades. It's only been a few days since the suicide. If he already began to cry before they even made it to camp he would be seen as weak. While his eyes were shut the moment replayed in his mind. He saw the sunshine illuminating the perished crops and gnats dancing around in the air. His heart began to ache when he remembered the warm breeze as a loud clap exploded through the sky. As he felt the tears coming up through his stomach a mans voice distracted his thoughts. Something about South Africa and the weather. Dustin quickly wiped the moisture away from his eyes and took a deep breath, hoping that the men pressed up on both of his shoulders wouldn't notice. The smell of body odor didn't affect Dustin much due to his time on the farm dealing with fertilizers and animals.

When the bus rolled to a stop the man who talked about South Africa was the first to jump off. Dustin stood up and waited for most of the people to exit before grabbing his things and making his own exit. His legs still felt shaky from the rough bus ride in combination with his close break down. As Joe spoke Dustin slightly smiled. He saw Joe as the man who will allow him to begin a new life. With that, he felt excited for the camp activities to begin. Dustin analyzed the bulletin board for a little while longer than the other campers. He never got a good education with the death of his father and being the only farmer. When Dustin entered Tent C he noticed two bunk beds, one of which had a windbreaker on top. He walked to the unclaimed bunk and climbed on top, leaving his belongings under the bottom bunk. As Dustin laid on the very firm mattress his eyes began to water. He could finally let his mind wander and think about the tragedy, now that he was alone.
