July 2013Personal Statement
I would like to go to a college/University that will teach me all aspects of Film Production and ideally, some history to help me make better films. My dream is to make professional movies. Not sure yet if I want to be a producer, director, editor, person behind the camera, or screenwriter yet because I enjoy all of these jobs, so having an all encompassing program.

- 200 Freestyle Relay: Max Braun, Kaitlyn May, Nikki Kowalski, and Sammi Dowd Seated with a time of 1:48.08 and they needed to swim 2.01 faster to break a Simsbury Girls 200 Freestyle Relay Record. At Trials they swam a 1:45.48, a 2.60 second drop and a New Team Record. At Finals they swam a 1:45.32 a .16second faster for another New Team Record. This relay swam unbelievable and proved to LL that girls belong at the State level for swimming and Simsbury has 4 outstanding girls swimmers who can swim with the big boys. At Trials they beat the Norwalk relay and those boys were not happy. 400 Free Relay- Sean Russell, Kyle Chambers, Sammi Dowd, and Doug Nicholson: Seated with a time of 3:40.49 and swam a 3:38.80. They dropped 1.69 seconds thanks to Sean Russell going a flat start of 53.34. An excellent swim. At Finals the relay swam a 3.37.91 almost another full second faster.
