"Class, please pay attention to Arielle as she gives her presentation," said Arielle's teacher, Mrs. Taylor. Today I will tell you about the culture of Ethiopia. Ethiopia is… um…. Ethiopia... um...Arielle has completely forgotten her entire speech. Embarrassed and with tears in her eyes she began to run. She headed straight to the parking lot, got in her car, and drove home. Once home, he sat in the driveway and burst into tears. After sitting in the car for a good twenty minutes, her mother saw her car in the driveway and went out to see what was happening. Her mother knocked on the window and Arielle looked up. Arielle opened the door and explained to her mother everything that had happened during school. Arielle's mother said, “Why don't you go upstairs and go to sleep. It would probably do you good to get some sleep. It's been a long week. ”So Arielle went up to her room and slept until the next day. The next morning, when he woke up, it was Saturday. His grandparents were in town for the weekend. He went down the stairs and saw his grandparents, but he had no idea who they were. Concerned about why these strangers were in her living room, she asked her mother, “Why are these people in our house?” “Honey, these are your grandparents,” her mother replied. Do I have grandparents? Yes. Darling, are you feeling well? We should probably take you to the doctor. Go put on some clothes. Later Arielle and her parents were at the doctor's office. The doctor ran some tests and found that Arielle's memory loss was caused by drug abuse at birth. Arielle asked her mother, "Did you use drugs when you were pregnant with me?" No honey, I didn't use drugs when I was pregnant with you. Arielle was getting a little angry and said, "Then why... middle of paper... Ma'am, do you know who this is?" He looked at the paper for a moment. and replied: “No. I don't know who this person is." Arielle's mom knew deep down that she was her daughter, but she denied it because she never wanted to look back at that point in her life again. Devastated, Arielle and Carrie got into the car and did their long journey home. Even after this disappointment there was a silver lining. Arielle somehow regained her memory. “I'm back!” cried Arielle. “Oh, well. What happened? " replied Mrs. Sanders. “Well, I found out a lot of information, including my biological mother's business address. Carrie and I went to her office and found her, but she denied being my mother.” “I'm so sorry, darling. Don't be angry with her. You just have to forgive her and move on with life,” Mr. Sanders responded.
