Baltimore County provides a lot of educational tools and programs to their students. I hope they continue to spread awareness of the importance of education past high school. I hope Baltimore County continues elaborating on their COVID19 pandemic relief plan throughout the next year, especially for students! I hope they focus on health disparities among their community members to make a more safe and more inclusive environment.
What I like living in Baltimore County is that there is so much things to do. I especially enjoy going hiking on various trails, seeing the waters of the Chesapeake bay, and encountering many of the diverse wildlife! For the nature lovers, Baltimore County is a great place to live.
It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve very seen, and I live there! Monkton is especially beautiful. It’s an interesting mix of very wealthy people that work in DC, along with very “redneck” people that live there as well, so that often creates an interesting socio-economic diversity. We’re surrounded by farms, which is inconvenient for my commute, but I love it. I feel connected to nature being in my home.
