Dante Chandler-Haas

I am Dante Chandler-Haas, and I love creating music. I feel that I can spread good by putting music and art out into the world, because of the inspiration and good that I feel from others' music. I believe that art in any form creates and spreads good in the world, and that others and myself can grow for good by improving art skills. I have grown in music a lot over this past year or so, and have finally put music out under the band “Barn”. I also feel that I do good by being friendly, and caring for those around me. Being nice spreads good to people in important ways and is infectious. I feel that I have spread good by participating in Love Of Learning at the Boys and Girls Club. I spent a lot of time with my two buddies who I saw each time I went, and they were always so excited to see that I had come back to them which was a great feeling. We read picture books, drew pictures, wrote a song about Pac-Man, and played paper airplane tag (Which was their absolute favorite). I feel that we are spreading good through my community garden Project Good as well. We have been working on the new roots garden, it is near my house and I’ve always noticed that it seems neglected and not being put to use. So far we have knocked out all the dead crops and prepared compost and soil in order to grow things there in the future. It is a great feeling to be working on restoring a garden that no one else seems to care about, but most around it would appreciate. I have always wanted to get into gardening as well and this experience has helped me learn a lot more about it. Despite all the bad, I believe that there’s a lot of good in the world, and lots to go around.
