Introduction to Mr. Hastie

My name is Emmett and i have been at Brookes Westshore for 4 years, since grade 6. Im an only child, and i live nearby at Thetis lake with my parents and puppy Digby. Although i do have hasty in my name, i am not a sprinter, I have been swimming competitively for 3 and a half years and have swam over 8000km. Other then swimming i also love to surf and hike, as well as play some volleyball every once in a while. I have quite a large interest in music production which is what im basing my personal project off of. I also work at a local pool where i teach kids how to swim.

 

As a reader my favourite genre of books based on philosophy. My favourite book of all time is Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, which is a book which conveys interesting anecdotes about complex topics such as quality and classical vs romantical views through the anatomy of a motorcycle. Some other of my favourite books are also Sophie’s World which is a general history of philosophy which is written very well. I also really like Calvin and Hobbes comics because they’re pretty funny.

 

To be honest i’m not very much of a writer, i mostly like to read. The only times i would write is when being asked to for school, i don’t do much writing in my free time. When i do writing for school it tends to be very standard for an IB student of my my grade and does not have anything for special or interesting about it. I do still like writing though i don’t dislike it or anything like that.
