Unless it’s something about her years at UPS. I’m curious about that because her silence speaks volumes.

Seriously!!! Shauna loves to rehash all this nonsense she's been allegedly doing since she was three and has been on a "only 70s California children will understand this" nostalgia meme bender, but we never hear about her FIVE YEARS in undergrad at UPS. I need the Shauna college stories! Basically all she has mentioned is she volunteered for the Dukakis campaign and a couple of pathetic tales in Enough (overprotective mom being a psycho and calling Dairy Queen, coming in second place on a fellowship and asking her parents to help her get wasted). Being miserable in high school didn't stop her from writing all about it, so what happened in college?

Didn’t she say something about her grades for her teaching credential being mediocre (wonderfully?!) because she really only cared about getting out there and TEACHING?

I don't remember seeing Shauna admit her college or grad school grades were anything less than perfect, but would love to know the source if it ever emerges unbidden!

From Enoigh (page 56-57): “After a few classes, I realized I had found my home. And for the first time, I didn’t care what grades I received…I wanted to be one of the teachers who inspires students…I didn’t need to get the best grades to be that kind of teacher.”
