Dear Diary,

It’s been a rough couple of months, that's why I haven’t written in a while, with school starting up and trying to teach my students the curriculum that the government has mandated, it's been extremely busy. It breaks my heart that I am forced to only teach drama, art, and music (not that there's anything wrong with teaching these subjects) because they are just as important. However, I know that they are capable of so much more, it’s so unfair. There is one student, in particular, Thor, who has so much potential, and I know he can do great things if I could teach him STEM on a regular basis rather than secretly.

Thor is very intelligent, he can solve problems in Math, and I am almost certain he has figured out the scientific theory of what is really going on with our zones. Sawyer, who lives in zone 2 has been granted special access to enter and exit between zones and has been secretly bringing Thor over to my place so that I can teach him privately and teach him more than what I can teach from my classroom. Even though he is only in grade 9, he has the intelligence of a university student. He could do wonders for all the other zones outside of zone 1 and be their ticket to a more fruitful life.

I am almost afraid to write here. What if they find out what will become of me, will the government exile me for what I am doing? I just want to do my job. I want to do what I love and help our future generation to become the best doctor, teachers, scientists, or whatever their hearts desire. I went into teaching because I want to make a difference, but if I am being held back, what’s the point? Most days I am secretly teaching the other students in the classroom the basics of STEM, but I must be very careful because what if they (the government) show up? They can pop into my classroom unannounced at any given time to see what I am teaching.

We had a scare last week. Thankfully the secretary in the office is a very close friend and she quickly advised me when the government had shown up unannounced. I was in the middle of a math lesson. The students were so engaged and they were finally understanding the concept of Algebra. We had to quickly flip over all the posters, erase the boards, and hide anything that would show that I was teaching STEM in the classroom. The students quickly pulled out their handmade instruments because that is all they can afford since the board won’t provide the school with any funding so we can purchase them proper instruments. We started to play in the nick of time when the door busted open and there, they were just standing there looking at the children as if they were peasants. At first, I thought that they knew something, but once I saw the smirk on their face it was almost like they were happy to see that nothing was really happening as if they thought these students were worthless.

I hope for the sake of these children that changes will happen soon, but I really don’t foresee anything happening for a very long time.

Dear Diary,

I can’t believe that it has been a couple of years since I last wrote in my diary. I have been extremely busy to say the least. But I wanted to write down my thoughts and reflections because there has been so much going on and I need an outlet to vent. My job requires me to always be professional, and unfortunately, I have no one to share my inner thoughts with. So here it goes:

After years of dedication and hard work, I have been promoted to the top scientist position in the GTA. I have hundreds of scientists working under me in the secret research lab beneath the CN tower. But with great power comes great responsibility. I have the huge responsibility of trying to replicate the Alien Vaccine 1 (AV1). I am under a tremendous amount of stress and pressure. The entire world was wiped out in a matter of two weeks from the deadly virus in the 1970s. It’s surreal how something as small as a virus killed most humans and living things on Earth so incredibly fast. The only people who survived are the residents of the GTA who are depending on the vaccine to allow them to finally leave the GTA. The residents of most of the GTA are suffering, since they do not have adequate food, resources, and education to survive. The poor residents of most of the GTA are disadvantaged in comparison to the wealthy in zone 1. I want to be able to help everyone in the GTA, especially those outside zone 1.

It is fascinating to me how people in zone 1 who were closest to the alien crash site have superior intergenerational intelligence than the rest of the GTA. After years of intensive research, me and the hundreds of scientists working under me have understood the science behind this remarkable vaccine. Brain function is improved by increased neuronal connectivity in the prefrontal cortex. More specifically, one massive myelin sheath covers each axon, allowing for more electrical signals and incredibly fast electrical signal propagation. This discovery is mind-blowing!

As an experienced scientist, I highly encourage the study of STEM. STEM is an amazing field that is incredibly valuable today. Most importantly, STEM is necessary to solve the vaccine crisis. I can’t believe that the government is only allowing students from GTA zone 1 to study STEM. The government is depriving students from the rest of the GTA from learning STEM, and they are being taught other basic skills instead. However, I heard rumours that teachers from outside GTA zone 1 are secretly teaching students STEM. If that is true, I applaud those teachers for risking their lives and going against government orders to do what is right for the future generation.

It is time for me to get back to work on replicating the AV1 vaccine. I hope that the vaccine can be replicated quickly so that life can start to become more “normal” again. I take my job very seriously. Everyone is counting on me. Hundreds of scientists, the government, and all GTA residents are depending on me. I will work tirelessly until the job is done.

That is all for now. Hopefully the next time I write in my diary, I will have solved the vaccine crisis and successfully replicated AV1!

As the ice caps melted, sea levels rose, and the rest of the world became a jungle environment. Despite the fact that there was no Global Warming to worry about, the air quality was excellent, and there was no longer smog, the GTA was lifeless, grey, and overcrowded; it would rain for days and even months at a time, making it difficult for civilization to be happy; people were frequently depressed, and the only hope they had left was to know that the GTA was the only safe place to be in order to live. The GTA is home to both the poor and the wealthy. Because the poor need to work to survive, they work for the wealthy and believe that the government only helps the wealthy. The less fortunate are aware of the segregation between the two classes, but they believe there is no hope for them. Because the wealthy have government support, they can have farms and land north of the GTA, non-wealthy citizens work and cultivate the land, and the poor are barely surviving.

The poor citizens are hopelessly awaiting the day when they will be able to leave the GTA and begin living the life they have imagined. They are tired of having their lives controlled by the government and the wealthy; they barely have enough food to survive, and the poor who harvest the land for the wealthy are sometimes forced to smuggle food to feed their families. Most of the poor, particularly children, are malnourished, and they are becoming ill due to a lack of nutrients. The poor children who live in zone 2 and 3 are attending school however are being taught the basics of the education system, whereas the wealthy students are being taught STEM that the government has mandated. Despite the mandate and unknown to the government and residents of zone 1 some of the children from zone 2 and 3 are secretly being taught STEM by some of the teachers. The teachers who are secretly teaching these children are risking their lives; the government nor the zone 1 residents want to give the poor the opportunity to be taught the STEM curriculum because they are afraid that they will gain knowledge and eventually take over the city. Because the wealthy are thriving and living their best lives, they are unaware of what is going on; they believe that the government has everything under control and that they have nothing to worry about. The wealthy are thriving; they have farms, horse ranches, and golf courses, and their children attend school, where they receive an education but barely pass. The children don't seem to mind because they know they won't have to work because they will receive an inheritance from their parents. The wealthy are constantly mocking the poor by mistreating them and undermining their existence.
