    Leah spends the majority of her time with her father, Gary Shirley and his new wife, Kristina. She also has a stepsister named Emilee. Leah appears to have a very strong relationship with her stepmom and also gave the young girl a shoutout on her birthday via Instagram. Kristina was also wise and tagged both Gary and Amber in her post about Leah.

    "Shouting HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our smart, spunky, caring and compassionate 11 year old. She brings SO much joy and happiness to our family. Happy 11th Birthday, Beautiful!"

    Over the years, Amber and Gary have worked out their differences and gotten on the same page regarding their care for their daughter.

    Past seasons of "Teen Mom" have showcased Gary and Amber learning to co-parent, especially when their daughter began having panic attacks. They discussed therapy options and agreed that the most important thing was supporting their daughter and keeping her in a loving environment. It's paid off and Gary recently went on social media and praised Leah while showing off a ton of awards she had received over the past year, which included making the honor roll.

    "So every once in a while I have a reason to brag and today I get to brag about Leah Shirley. She has made me @itsgarytime her mother @realamberlportwood1__ and her step mother @kristina_shirley3 super proud. She is a smart kid and I’m so proud she’s like her papa. Haha. She has accomplished great things this school year and has done a heck of a job reading and reading and more reading. I always tell her how important it is and she got to see why and she is proud of herself. Congrats Leah. She also made straight A honor roll amongst the rest of the certificates she received. I’m just so darn proud."

    Gary Shirley, who is a cop in Indiana these days, recently showed support for Amber Portwood after her arrest for domestic violence. She has since settled the case and pled out to avoid jail time, but during the drama Gary made it known what he was thinking the most about.

    "My prayers are with @AmberLPortwood, Andrew, & most importantly baby James ... Idk any of the particulars, however I'm thinking of them."

    Trump mocks Greta Thunberg's Time Person of the Year honor: 'So ridiculous'

    DON: Where did Donald Trump go to college? HERE'S THE REAL STORY. Donald Trump's college-related educational history surfaced as a point of controversy during the presidential campaign. The 12-year-old Trump was sent to military school in upstate New York after proving to be too unruly for Manhattan's private institutions. Despite that training, he didn't go on to serve in the military, obtaining five deferments from Vietnam — one for his infamous "bone spurs," and four for college. But that still leaves the question, where did Donald Trump go to college?Where did Donald Trump go to college? Well, he actually attended two universities. Instead of going into the military, Trump followed his father, Fred, into real estate upon his graduation from high school in 1964. He enrolled at Fordham University in the Bronx. But the path — and the school — weren't his first choices. Trump originally wanted to be a movie producer, Newsweek reported. But after being rejected from the University of Southern California, he enrolled at Fordham. Why? "That's where he got in," said Trump's sister, Maryanne, in the book "The Trumps: Three Generations of Builders and a Presidential Candidate.” There, Trump played squash but otherwise left no mark at the school, the president of the Fordham Alumni Association said in 2017. After two years there, “I decided that as long as I had to be in college, I might as well test myself against the best,” Trump said in his 1987 book "The Art of the Deal.” He transferred to the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, largely due to his interview with an admissions officer who was a high-school classmate of his older brother Fred. What degree does Donald Trump have? Trump would earn a degree in economics in 1968. He later claimed to have earned an MBA at Wharton and graduated first in his class, boasts which appeared in the first profile written about his real-estate endeavors in the New York Times in 1976. Both claims are untrue. The 1968 graduation program does not list him as graduation with any kind of honors. His degree was undergraduate, not an MBA. And the Boston Globe reported he was an unremarkable student: "His former classmates said he seemed a student who spoke up a lot but rarely shined in class, who barely participated in campus activities, shunned fraternity parties." But somewhere along the way, Trump developed the ability to spin his own myth, which would carry him to the presidency half a century after graduation. I might add that there is no verification that Trump actually graduated from high school though he claims that he was the smartest person in high school. Sound familiar?
