Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen of Harvard University. My name is Aesa Larssen and I believe I would make an outstanding addition to your student boy. Throughout my life I have faced countless challenges; overcoming each and every one. I was born May 27th, 1768 in Vega, Norway. Ever since I was 20 years old I have had to move every four years, in order to remain "off the radar." I spent most of my childhood in Italy, my father's country. You see, when I was growing up in Italy, I fell in love with a boy named Orfeo Rizzati. It is not mere coincidence that his name should mean "darkness" for that is what he truly was. When we were together, I felt happy and complete…most of the time. There were times when I could sense his dread and utter panic, but I kept those moments hidden deep within my mind. On October 15th, 1788, Orfeo officially went insane. He tore apart all his belongings before killing his entire family. He came to me in the middle of the night, crying because of what he had just done. He told me he couldn't lose me and that he was sorry for what must be done. Suddenly the world went black. The next thing I remember was waking up in an alley way surrounded by dead, rotting bodies. It took me about three hours to realize what had happened to me, Orfeo turned me; damned me to live forever in the darkness. I searched for Orfeo for thirty years before I decided to give up. For that moment on, I made a pack with myself; never let anyone in because all you will get is pain and suffering. I have to live with myself and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't wish I didn't have to. I despise what I am; I fight what I am, but I always lose. I can never belong or fit in, especially in your world. Adding the pressure of college to this plate of despair will prove to be a simple task, I simply have to resist…EVERYONE.
Aesa stared into the computer screen before bursting into laughter. "What a great way to start off this new life. I'm a sure fire in if you ask me." She contemplated the thought of submitting that response for only a moment before her right ring finger slammed down upon the backspace key. "Let's try this again."
