(1,397 posts)This is only anecdotal information and it's a few years old -- but -- in the late 1990's I worked for a non-profit organization in Central Appalachia the repaired and built homes for very-low income families. Church youth groups came from all over the country to volunteer.
Clinton was President and the family were members of Foundry United Methodist Church in DC. Chelsea came one summer as a volunteer with her church youth group. I was responsible for overseeing the work being done on homes in two counties and, as such, I encountered her youth group a few times. She was a typical teenager who was serious about what she was doing, well-like by the others, and impressive in the fact that she didn't expect any special treatment.
She graduated from high school with honors, went to Stanford on a scholarship, graduated from there after a program that combined classroom and real-world. She's well-read, traveled, and mature.
I maintain contact with people at Foundry; the Clinton's stop by there for services when they are in DC and the people I know there are unanimously Chelsea supporters because she's a good person.
