Walk A Mile In My Shoes
If I could be you and you could be me for just one hour
If we could find a way to get inside each other's mind
If you could see me through your eyes instead of your ego
I believe you'd be surprised to see that you'd been blind
If I could be you and you could be me for just one hour
If we could find a way to get inside each other's mind
If you could see me through your eyes instead of your ego
I believe you'd be surprised to see that you'd been blind

“If you prick us, do we not bleed?
If you tickle us, do we not laugh?
If you poison us, do we not die?
And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?
If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that.” - William Shakespeare.

[color=000033]Welcome to the lives of the teenagers, children and people at Terryton Children's Home and Hostel. Most have spent their entire lives here, some have never had any other place to call 'home'. Some have. Some have had happy lives which have been destroyed. These children get tested every day of their lives.
Others have no where to go but to the hostel, alone or afraid. The hostel plays home to many people, junkies, unwanted children, people with no where else to go. They have to make ends meet somehow, and the hostel is the safest place for them. It's that, or the streets.
Their strength is tested, and their friendships are tested. They have no one but themselves and the others who they rely on in the center. There are so many things these children can never have, however, together they get along. Together they make every day happier than the last, together they will get through this all.
No man is an island, and these people are no exception. They go to high school, go to college, they live their lives. But they are seen as different, misunderstood and pushed aside. If only people could walk a mile in their shoes. If only people could understand. The only way family some of these children have are themselves and the others at Terryton's - home to those without.
