I have a friend in Pueblo whose parents' grandparents were immigrants, and they took great pride in learning English and becoming a part of it. To blend in, you need to learn the language and become a part of the community and not isolate yourself. It's imperative.

At this stage in my life, I've finally come to realize that I've learned more from my children than they ever learned from me.

His parents used to own a house on Ninth Street and my grandparents owned a house on Ninth Street, so I used to go see him quite a bit and Sheriff Byrd and I have been good friends ever since, too.

Take a look at what your grandparents or parents are receiving, whether it be some lottery scheme or some type of get rich or business opportunity.

A lot of the kids that are in school regularly do well, shown by the CSAP test scores. Those that move with jobs mostly seem Mexican, and they're not as stable. It's not because of intelligence or race - they're moving and aren't doing well, and there are other factors as well.

How great it would be if parents and grandparents started children off with a nest egg.
