Birney was motherless at the age of two years of age. She felt as id she was out of place, and without a value. She was mentally abused. It was not until she went to college that she recieved a cultural, and spiritual awakening. This opened up her point of view to have a passion for education, her mind, body, spirt, past and present, and future. Attending college, and having the most influential professors, she also recieved a cultural uplifting that she stillo celebrates despite all the negativity and downsizement we recieved as African American women. Overall, I had a connection, because it was not until I came to Spelman until I found my purpose. Spelman gave me a cultural, economical, and networking awakening. Spelman College gave me the opportunity to become more open with people of my background. Even though we all come from different angles of the world, we each serve a different purpose. Economically, Spelman influenced me that education is very important, and even though I am not financially stable, that SCHOLARSHIPS are very important. Networking became a big thing to me because this is a very big campus. In the long run, you never know who you might run into, and might need a favor.
