My name is Brandon Clayton. I am smart and funny. I like to laugh as well as make others laugh, but I know when not to joke and what not to tell jokes about. I am a hard worker and I am responsible (for the most part... lol) I get good grades in school. I am respectful and I am deeply rooted in the Pentecostal religion. In my church, I am one of the youth leaders there and I pray to one day walk in the footsteps of some of the great leaders that have gone before me. I enjoy playing my saxophone and spending time with the ones that I love.
