Edward Bensley

I grew up in a military household and was afforded the opportunity to attend college using my father's GI bill benefits. I was unready and dissatisfied, so I left to join the army myself in 2015. I learned a great deal and grew as a person; I got out of the army in 2019 and re-entered school in Fall 2020. I started out as a finance major and wanted a math minor; now I'm in the early entry master's program for mathematics and pursuing bachelor's degrees in finance and economics (three whole degrees!). I took responsibility for myself and made a choice to pursue my dreams. My wife and son have been supporting me the entire way; I'm doing this for them and couldn't do it without them.
