Hope House: Camp Counselor Tyron

0:01 - 0:03♪ (soft music) ♪
-
0:11 - 0:14My mom was like,
"You're going to camp." -
0:14 - 0:15I was like, "Camp?"
-
0:15 - 0:18I said, "I'm too big for camp, I'm 14."
-
0:18 - 0:21She was like, "But, see,
your father really wants you to go, -
0:21 - 0:23and it's a camp for you
to go see your father." -
0:23 - 0:25And I was still skeptical, I was like,
-
0:25 - 0:27"Where do we camp at, in a prison?"
-
0:27 - 0:29"Because I don't want
to camp in no prison." -
0:29 - 0:30(splashing, laughter)
-
0:30 - 0:32Yeeeee-hawww!
-
0:32 - 0:35(Tyron) She was like,
"No, you camp outside the prison, -
0:35 - 0:38"and then you go there
during the days to go see him." -
0:41 - 0:44(Tyron) When he was first imprisoned
there was a glass, -
0:44 - 0:47and you had to talk to him
through a phone. -
0:47 - 0:48And I hated that.
-
0:48 - 0:50Oh my goodness.
-
0:50 - 0:51Like--
-
0:51 - 0:53mm-mm.
-
0:53 - 0:55Talking through a phone
-
0:55 - 0:57and being with someone--
having that conversation-- -
0:57 - 1:00it's totally two different things.
-
1:00 - 1:02You can't hug nobody through a phone.
-
1:02 - 1:04(talking quietly, patting)
-
1:06 - 1:07(kids chattering)
-
1:07 - 1:11(Tyron) I wanted to be a counselor
because I wanted to give back, -
1:11 - 1:15because I know it's difficult
to not be able to see your father. -
1:15 - 1:18So I feel as though,
if I can help them through this process, -
1:18 - 1:22like all the other counselors
from when I was a camper helped me, -
1:22 - 1:25I feel as though
it would be a good deed. -
1:25 - 1:27So that's why I chose
to be a counselor. -
1:29 - 1:33When he gets out,
I'm going to be very old. (laughs) -
1:33 - 1:34I'm going to be--
-
1:35 - 1:36like 30.
-
1:37 - 1:39So that's a long time.
-
1:40 - 1:44But when he gets out of prison,
I just want him to say he's proud of me, -
1:44 - 1:47that I didn't follow
down the same road he did, -
1:47 - 1:49and I learned from his mistakes,
-
1:49 - 1:51and that he's proud of me.
