"Students Helping Students" is a support program at K-State University. The group collects money and then uses it to help students who are financially troubled to stay in school. The clubs president was diagnosed with cancer when she was 20 years old. The group helped her out, and as a result, she joined the group. K-State Proud, buys things like books, lunches, or even will pay your rent for a week. In the video some of the students even help a kid park his car, and then go on to carry a girl across the street. This matters because it shows that the students care about each other and are willing to help each other out. The school obviously is a very tight knit community. I would like to believe that Arapahoe has the same connection, which is why this matters to me. Groups like Link Crew and sports teams always do their best to make the new kids feel at home, and this is good because it encourages kids to get involved. This is important because it allows kids to get the most out of their school experience. The group at K-State matters to the world, because if organizations like the UN took on the same mentality, things would be allot better. Third world countries would be able to make things a little better for their citizens. This would also lower hostilities because everyone would be just a little bit happier. So maybe the president of K-State Proud should give a speech to Congress or the UN about how to take care of one another.
