Turtle Island
Eustace has pressure from all around him to get Turtle Island set up and established. He asked his father, who he hadn't really talked ot in a long time for money, and he was trying as hard as he could to pay him back as quick as possible. This was causing him to work nonstop until the money was paid of, and then he would ask for more money to make his dream grow larger. He was constantly on the road, giving different programs to children of all ages. Once he finished one program he continued right on to the next, having to speed the intire away inorder to get there on time. He wasn't really living what he was preching during this hectic time of his life. He was in square cars preforming for hours on end in square rooms and staying in square hotels and houses, instead of living in his circular world. When he wasn't giving speeches he was constructing his office on only a few hours of sleep a night, working himself to the bone. He wasn't really living the life style he really was hoping for in the very early years,but the outcome affected the people around him greatly. Besides his dad, who was the main financial advisor of the project and the main person he was trying to succeed for, there was also Valarie who was also important in the building of his dream. She was affected because he was always working and didnt really have that much time for her. BUt he affected the children in a good way. Mothers would write him letters commenting on how much more mature Turtle Island had made her son. The campers went to the camp and were forever changed. After months of running around hectically, he finally got the happiness of changing childrens lives out of Turtle Island.
