Jayden Clasby

You guys wanna know about me!? You make me feel so special! Anyways, I'm Jayden Clasby, I’m 13 and I live in Grants Pass, Oregon. I’m the oldest out of my 4 siblings and we have a cat named Anakin. My family is basic, we live in a big house in the middle of town. Successful oldest sibling, weird middle child, and the 2 youngest who can get away with ANYTHING they want. We travel occasionally, and go to a lot of places. I've been to Hawaii once and I’m going pretty soon again.

Sports are my favorite thing, and I’ve been playing basketball for 8 years, and I started T&F and XC this year. Last year I started middle school ball and made varsity, and this year I’ll be going towards the same goal. I started playing when my dad decided to watch a Golden State Warriors game, it was the first time I had ever seen basketball and immediately fell in love, and I started playing at school recess. And even to this day the Golden State Warriors are my favorite team, and I’ve been to several games

This summer I went all around Oregon and hung out with my friends. I went to a summer camp, and I threw grass at my friend, which led to her tackling me, and when I fell on the ground I ended up shattering my collar bone! I stayed at camp because the leaders said I just sprained it. I almost needed surgery but apparently the bone is gonna straighten out by itself (yeah I don’t think that’s gonna happen) but for now I’m just gonna chill with a huge bone poking out of my shoulder!

Homeschool is my fav thing (duhhh) but I went to public school until covid in 4th grade. I think my favorite subject (besides P.E. and sports) is probably math. Last year I started doing classes with TNW and I’m doing ALG with Renee Klein. To be honest I think she’s my favorite teacher too.

I enjoy hanging out with my friends, playing ball, drawing, and hanging out with my cat. I think my favorite artist has to be Zach Bryan, but I love rap too. My favorite movie, (actually a musical) is Hamilton. Theatre is also one of my favorite things to do. I’ve made the main role a couple times in local theatre productions, and I'm hoping to keep going with it. I draw sometimes, mostly just to prove to my friends that I don’t suck at it, but I’ll do it for fun sometimes.

Thanks for coming to learn about me! I hope you guys read our stories and enjoy them! Have a great school year! -Jayden
