	As a young boy growing up on Coruscant, I began to show great promise in the Force at a very early age. My family was full of Jedi Knights and just as my ancestors before me, it was my turn to train as a Jedi. Although my entry into the Jedi Academy was pretty standard, my time there was not always without problems. I would often use my powers in the Force to play tricks on my classmates, sometimes right in the middle of a lesson. It wasn't long however before I realized that my instructor, Master Yoda, could sense that it was me the whole time. Although he didn't scold me, and fortunately he didn't expell me, he did teach me a valuable lesson about how ones gift in the Force should not be used to tease others. That kind of behavior, as innocent as it may be intended, can lead to greater problems. He told me that eventually my classmates would start to dislike me for my actions, that they would exclude me from activities, and that they might even turn their friendship away from me. These things would eventually leave a void inside of me that would only get bigger and bigger, a void that will become so desparate to be filled that anything that comes along, no matter how sincere it may look on the outside, will be looked upon as friendship. This, as Master Yoda continued, is how the Dark Side consumes its prey. It finds those who are empty inside and fills their void with both compassion for their pain and fuel to their fire. The fire within them that burns as a hatred for those who caused their pain. From that point on, I realized that I was not only beginning to fell that void inside of myself, but that I might be creating such a void inside of one of my classmates by getting others to laugh at them. Had it not been for Master Yoda I might have fallen to the Dark Side, and I might have taken someone with me in the process aswell. From then on, I became more dedicated to my studies and training. I made sure that I developed a greater understanding for the respect of my classmates, and for myself. As I got older and became more knowledgable in the Force and in the Jedi arts, I drew the attention of Master Yoda and became his newest Padawan Learner. It was quite an honor to learn from this wise and powerful Jedi Master and I wasn't about to let this opportunity go to waste. Master Yoda and I worked side by side for many years, settling different border and planetary disputes, helping to protect many different diplomatic figures in the galaxy, all the while I absorbed as much as I could. Then it was my turn to take the Jedi Trials to move on to Knighthood. Even though I had learned about the way of the Jedi from the best possible source, I was still nervous about taking the Trials. Master Yoda stepped in once again and rebuilt my confidence in my own abilities. He reminded me that although a Jedi must rely on his abilities in the Force to help him from time to time, those powers are not what makes a Jedi. A Jedi's true strength comes from within. It is ones heart and his desire to help others that makes him a true Jedi. With this moral boost, I was ready and did infact pass the Trials. A few years after obtaining Knighthood I was found by my birth-parents. They informed me that as a custom adopted by my family many centuries ago, as the first born son it was my duty to continue my bloodline by marrying and having a son. I felt torn between the tradition of my family, even though I was taken from them at a very early age, and the Jedi Order. I decided that I was duty bound to continue my family tradition and marry. With this I went to the Jedi Council for their blessing in the matter. Even though some of the elder Council Members were against it, including Master Yoda, they decided to grant me the permission to marry and father a son. With a few months after finding a bride, whose name is Jai Dee, she became pregnant with our first child, a son. After carrying the child full term, my son, Patrik Brun was born. As we later found out, he too was Force sensitive and was brought to the Jedi Temple to be trained as a Jedi. Only this time it was not Master Yoda who took him on as his Padawan Learner, it was I who took him as my apprentice. In what started out to be a troubled beginning in my life as a Jedi, it has developed into a wonderful life, full of joy and happiness.
