I am currently 18 years-old and still live in Chelmsford, MA. As teenager in Chelmsford there isn't much to do. Something that I really enjoy about Chelmsford is the sports. Going to sports events in Chelmsford are always fun! Something I would like to see change is the organization and equality and treatment to the staff within the school system.
It is a close-knit community with excellent public education. The entire town is inclusive of all races and genders. Nevertheless, the cost of living at the town is a bit expensive, which would be the only downside to the town.
We have several events that are held throughout the year for the entire town, with a fourth of July parade, a Christmas lighting ceremony, a Juneteenth celebration, etc. The community is also very kind to one another, with programs that would serve low-income households with food and other necessities. Grow-A-Row is a local program, where home-owners grow one set of produce to donate to the food pantry.
Te community is a great area to live in.

I grew up in this town from age 6 when there were farm lands and forest. Gradually the land was bought up and houses went up. My younger years in the 60's were times fun times. School was actually fun too. Home would be homework with a parent available to help if needed or to redirect when distracted. Going outside and playing with neighborhood kids and hearing the loud school bell when my mom rings it for supper. Back outside until the street lights came on then home. The town had summer activities for kids and would ride my bike to wherever they were, that is how I learned to sew and knit. I know times are different especially I was lucky having .y mom at home and only my dad worked. Now both parents have to work usually 2 jobs and kids have had to be on their own which bad influences could occur. Housing costs have gotten so high people can't afford apartments now and homelessness is high. This is an area I volunteer for and even on the board of the nonprofit that helps.
