Sarah dreamed of making it big!! with her striking looks and undeniable talent, she was sure that success was just around the corner.
Sarah Karmel knew she was going to be famous. She was talented and attractive; all she needed was a chance. In an attempt to blend in with the Hollywood scene, Sarah began hanging out in the right places and with the right people.
In fact, Sarah was just one of the tens of thousands of teenage girls who visit La La Land each year, all of whom had aspirations of becoming famous actors. Sarah made mistakes, like many other women. She became in anticipation.
Sarah was not helped by her carefree, impulsive temperament. It was too late for the answer she thought was best when she realized she was expecting a baby.
She ended up waitressing at a 24-hour coffee shop in town because she was a pregnant star. Throughout her pregnancy, all Sarah could think about was giving birth and getting her body back.
Sarah’s mother came to Los Angeles when she was seven months pregnant. Sarah originally intended to give the baby up for adoption, but a visit from her mother changed her mind.
Although Sarah’s mother previously refused to support her daughter’s acting career, she was excited to assist Sarah now that she is a grandmother.
Sarah’s mother replied, “I’ll pay the rent.” And I’ll give you money to take care of the baby. Sarah, please don’t give the baby away! It’s your child.
Although her mother’s monetary incentives were quite persuasive, her mother’s sentimental pleas were ineffective. Sarah agreed to keep the baby but insisted she stay in Los Angeles. She continued to crave fame.
Sarah gave birth two months later to a beautiful baby girl named Mia, after her mother. At first it went smoothly. Sarah’s mother was incredibly kind and could afford a nanny.
Sarah persistently attended events and auditions in an attempt to find the perfect opportunity. Sarah grew older and Mia grew older as the years went by.
Unfortunately, Sarah was not a particularly active mother. She only had a passing interest in Mia because she was a cash cow who kept money from her mother.
Mia’s grandmother died when she was four and Sarah received some money as an inheritance. If she was diligent, it would go on for years. Sarah naturally lacked caution.
One day in the park, Mia slipped off the climbing frame while playing with her friends. When Mia woke up, she couldn’t feel her legs and was in the hospital.
She sobbed for her mother until Sarah finally appeared. According to doctors, Mia had a severely damaged spine and would spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair without surgery and rehabilitation.
“How much will it set me back?” Sarah insisted. When she heard the amount, she pursed her lips and added, “I’ll think about it.”
No one saw Sarah again at the hospital. She gave them a fake address so they couldn’t find her either. A few days later, a notarized statement was sent to the hospital.
Mia was put up for adoption and Sarah disclaimed any responsibility. The pediatrician who treated Mia, Dr. Anna Joubert, brought bad news.
Mia said, “My mom isn’t coming back?” incredulously. Is this a result of my brokenness? Please let her know I’m on the mend! I will!” Anna promised that she would do anything to help Mia, who was crying uncontrollably in her arms.
Mia had a very hard time in the following years, but Anna stayed by her side. She asked to take care of Mia and eventually grew to adore the adorable child as if she were her own.
As Mia grew up, she underwent a number of surgical operations. Each procedure was followed by months of rehabilitation, but it was worth it. Mia was slowly regaining her ability to walk.
Mia could run and dance when she was in high school. Mia finally had a loving family thanks to Anna, who married a fellow doctor.
After graduating from law school Magna Cum Laude, Mia wanted to treat her parents to a celebration at one of the best restaurants in Los Angeles.
The homeless woman approached Mia and her parents when they walked into the restaurant after making a reservation. This individual was someone Mia had previously known, but who had forgotten who he was.
A bright, attractive, long-legged girl in a fancy dress emerged from the limo as Sarah saw her. The girl was being chased by a flamboyantly dressed elderly couple. Sarah believed that this rich family would be an easy target.
The woman begged: “Please.
Sarah was spot on. Mia reached out to stop Anna from reaching into her purse out of pity. Her eyes were fixed on the beggar. The woman appeared to be in her late fifties and most likely in her early forties.
“You?” she asked. is that you mom?
The lady started. She said, “What?” “I’m not your mother, no, darling. a sweet, beautiful girl like you? She was a worthless handicap who only had one child.”
“That would be me,” Mia remarked calmly. “I’m a worthless invalid. Or I was. I’m cured, you see, thanks to my parents.”
Sarah begged Mia and grabbed her arm. “Please help me! You can do it. With such expensive accessories and clothes? You can thank me for that because you were lucky to have those two.”
“Thank you?” Mia said. “Yes, I can give you credit for all the nights I spent grieving, wondering why I didn’t deserve your love, and thinking I deserved to be left behind. Mom, please accept my gratitude.”
After slipping Sarah $20 in cash, Mia and her real parents entered the restaurant.
Mia stood before the audience, her voice ringing with passion and conviction, knowing that her story, rooted in both heartache and triumph, would continue to inspire others to embrace their own paths, find strength, purpose and the ability to create change in the world.
