Kaiden Michael Brotherton was born on May 21, 2007, to Robert and Jamie Brotherton. He has three siblings: Austin, Hailey, and Colby Brotherton. Kaiden’s favorite teacher is Mrs. Balzer, as she has always treated him more like a parental figure than just a teacher. He would describe himself in three words: funny, witty, and different. If Kaiden could travel anywhere in the world, he would choose Chinatown because he is intrigued by the culture. His favorite school memory is when Jon accidentally snorted a handful of hand sanitizer. Kaiden's most embarrassing high school memory is constantly falling asleep in class.
When Kaiden was younger, he wanted to join the Marine Corps, but now he plans to attend trade school. His advice to underclassmen is, “Don’t fall behind, and with hard work, you really can achieve what others tell you is impossible.” Kaiden is looking forward to graduation but will miss his friends once high school is over. The person who has had the greatest influence on him is his mom because, as he puts it, “she’s always believed in me and has pushed me, no matter how badly I wanted to quit. She is always there for me, no matter what.”
