Dear Diary,

I have healed and feel so much better now. Well, sort of. I have a scar on my face and one of my eyes was injured so I have trouble seeing out of it. The doctors say it is fine and it looks ok, it just doesn't work well. At least my other eye is healthy and strong.

For a while I felt really down about it all and I kept having some strange flashbacks to the night it happened. But I now think, why brood on the past? I can't change what has happened and I'm better off than lots of other girls, so I should just let it go.

The council has decided I won't be suitable for a relationship with the large scar on my face. I will be a worker and breeder. That means I will carry children that the scientists have created. Children with modified genes which hopefully, will eventually save humankind. 

I am very excited about this and feel happy and positive about the future, about my future.
