F2F Class Notes 2nd Aug (Harmony)

Original:

 

Tracy is the youngest girl in her family, and she has two siblings, one is sister and another is brother. When Tracy’s mother was pregnant with her, the morning sickness was very serious, so she considered that Tracy’s coming was very hard-won. She had never said no to Tracy’s requests. Increasingly, Tracy’s personality had become very bad. Tracy’s grandparents saw all the things and thought that Tracy was spoiled. The grandparents talked with their daughter about Tracy and let her realize the errors.
