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.
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.
In Baltimore County I feel safe and well taken care of. First responders arrive quickly to scenes and make sure you are okay. But, I do think that Baltimore County, specifically the Hereford Zone, needs some changes. Regarding politics, Baltimore County does not do the best job at respecting each other's view points and opinions. There will also be disagreements in societies, but in Hereford, if your beliefs are the minority, you are "wrong". Also, Baltimore County has a lot of privileges, and as a community I think it would be great if we could give back to less fortunate people.
