I was born in Framingham on August 24th 2001. I moved to Brazil when I was 5-6 then came back. I then went to elementary, middle, and high school in Framingham. I moved out about two years ago to Boston, then came back to live with my parents. Every time I left and came back, I remembered why I enjoy living in Framingham. There is a huge sense of community here, and that is something I value. The mayor Charlie Sisitsky, is always looking to improve the city. I also experienced Framingham turn from town to city. Framingham is in a convenient location, it is close to Boston, which provides with many employment opportunities. You can also easily go into the city and have a day of exploring. I met my life long friends here and we love hanging out in Brazilian restaurants Framingham has, some of the best. Framingham is somewhere I will always come back to no matter how far I stray away while pursuing my future.
I grew up in Framingham, I went to a technical high school named JP Keefe Technical High School. I was involved in Business Professionals of America, National Honor Society, and I was the Valedictorian of my class. I also was class secretary and studied the business vocation. The school really helped me expand my skillsets and prepared me for college. I personally would recommend Keefe Tech High school for Framingham students who are searching for a vocation.
Framingham used to be average but ever since it became a city it got progressively worse. Mayor and City Officials keep creating new positions which are unnecessary and guess who pays for them...yes the resident-homeowners. Its completely out of control/ridiculous!! Political favors. Also the class of people is now def well below average. Homeless regulars are regularly stationed at median strips all along route 30. Walmart is nasty. Mayor wanted a Sanctuary City and he got what he wished for! Its overpopulated and downtown is awful! Southside elements have migrated to Northside (which once was the better side of the city). Framingham is the new Brockton. I resided in Framingham for years but sold and got the hell out of there. Live in a much safer, classier, well run Town that is carefully managed. Lose Framingham, NOT choose Framingham! House prices are way overpriced for the low quality environment u get. Do ur research.
