Hi, I’m Jayden Kleyweg
Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.

ABOUT ME
I’m 13 years old, I play drums and I have been playing for almost 10 years, I listen to a lot of music metal – rock bands which influences the way I drum. I am a very big sports fan playing cricket and AFL. I play for both Willetton District Cricket Club and Thornlie Cricket Club. (Districts is a high level of cricket played on turf pitches, playing districts can lead into a path to play for Western Australia maybe perhaps Australia. I play AFL for Jandakot Jets which is a local club in Atwell, I usually either play centre half forward or in the back line. Also, I skateboard, I landed my first trick which was a shuvit and now im working on landing the ollie. Skateboarding is very fun because its a way to clear my head and to just cruise around on my board is quite fun just being outside. I am a very hard working student. I try to be the best I can be making the most of every opportunity I can get.
ASC Capabilities and Strengths
My strengths are problem-solving and being organized. By being organized I can manage my time to finish my work and achieve my personal and academic goals. From my perspective being organized is a strength and capability that I can use to stay in order. Another capability that I achieve is problem-solving. By being a problem solver I can help people solve their problems by listening and suggesting ideas based on what they have said or done with their, school work what they have done to someone else, as well as other people. Also, I am an effective communicator, whenever I am unsure I ask my teachers and fellow peers about how to do something as well as helping someone who asks me.
Skills
As I have mentioned before I play the drums, I have been playing for almost ten years (2021) and influenced by my dad who played before, I have grown up playing the drums practising almost every day to get better. I have learned very complicated songs from metal, grunge, rock bands, etc these include Alice in Chains, Sound Garden, TOOL, Melvins, Rage Against The Machine (RATM) Nirvana, etc. Learning all the types of beats and rhythms has increased my confidence to play live in front of people.
Sports is a big skill for me, I play cricket and AFL trying to increase my abilities each day making an effort to become the best I possibly can be. At the moment I am trying to become a better batsman in cricket, especially due to me playing for a new district club. In AFL the coach that I have had has said I have one of the best kicking types for my age, which as a result he put me in the backline so the team can have a nice strong kick outside of the opposition’s half. Another skill that I’m looking to improve is skateboarding, I have already landed one of my first tricks and I am close to landing another.
