My name is Clifton Raheem Bradley, and I was born in Chicago, IL. I went to "WENDEL E GREEEN GRADE SCHOOL". The class I loved the most was gym class. I got the chance to see my friend when we went outside  I will always remember my long walk to school. however, I could no wait to graduate and go to High School I attended "Hyde Park High School" in Chicago when I graduated from grade school.

I said that TV Production classes are being offered. Yah! I will never forget my first time going to the TV and Radio room and falling in love with the TV studio—the cameras in the studio, the stage, and the studio lights. I thought I was in Hollywood.

I told myself I had to enroll in TV and Radio classes. I wanted to be a cameraman, but I was too inexperienced for the job. The teacher made me a stagehand. I had to take props on and off the studio stage. At first, I wouldn't say I liked the duties I was, asked to do. At some point, I began to take pride in being a stagehand. I found out later that every TV crew member is essential to a TV Production. I love every minute of my time in the TV Production studio and classes. I said "One day I would do this for a living.

My mistake was starting my video production company, 

"SHAYMAR MEDIA PRODUCTIONS LLC," getting my cameras and other equipment and not going to college first. You can say I had on-the-job training.

Later I said to myself it was time to go to school. I knew if I did not get an education would be in the same position I was in last year. That is why I am attending 

Kennedy-King college in Chicago. I am in school to get more knowledge. I can tell everyone what one of that Professors from Kenndy-King college said named Professor Abraham" keep acquiring knowledge because it is constantly changing". 

I believe that!  💘
