Julie+S.

 What happened March 2nd 1990?  Everything was going great at the time. Laura Schwartz had her parents and grandparents all to herself. Also had a bunch of toys and books in a huge bedroom all to herself (THIS SENTENCE NEEDS A SUBJECT.). She would be starting kindergarten in a year, but the days were full of movies and games with mom and dad. Getting all the attention from everyone since she was the first born (FRAGMENT).  In a couple short months that all changed for Laura. Everyone started paying attention to mom and fussing over her, not Laura. Then Julie came on March 2nd 1990. Being named after Julie Andrews from the sound of music, got (JULIE) all the attention.  Mr. Schwartz owning his own business says things have been financially difficult for the Schwartz household. He wasn’t getting enough business and Julie’s grandparents(') farm prices were down. With the average income being 42,652 the Schwartz household was just getting that together. This is why Laura didn’t get a Sega Game Gear this year for her birthday.  While Julie and her father watched Dances with Wolves, her mom tried to get Laura to start watching the Fresh Prince of Bel Air and The Simpsons. Most evenings consisted of the whole family watching Law & Order together. That was considered our family time for the day because Julie slept so much and Laura was at preschool during the day.  On the day Julie was born the headlines said “Greyhound bus goes on Strike”, and “Mark Tewksbury swims world record 50 meter backstroke (25.06 seconds).” George Bush Senior was also the president at the time.  One day Laura and Mrs. Schwartz decided to go shopping. While in her Dodge Aries on the radio was playing “Opposites Attract” by Paula Abdul. That song became one of the Schwartz families (FAMILY'S) favorite songs that year. Also “Step by Step” by New kids on the block (FRAGMENT).  When Julie was born most things were looking up that year. The good thing was that Julie has become the 5th generation to live at their farmhouse in Manheim Township. But on the down side a grenade attack at a Panama discotheque kills a US soldier and injures 28 other people.  <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Although Julie and Laura did get along their (THERE) was (WERE) also some points where they didn’t. Laura was starting to get used to all the attention that she wasn’t getting anymore but didn’t like it (THIS SENTENCE IS CONFUSINGLY WRITTEN.). Especially when her grandparents bought more gifts for Julie and not Laura (FRAGMENT). Then when Julie was a few months old she got very sick. That was when Laura finally realized that she loved Julie and would actually be okay if she would stay and be a part of the family.
