"Troy ... now is a role model to his peers. He speaks to them about their behaviors and actions that need improvement, always drawing from

the lessons he has learned from his experiences at Sanders. He tells

them 'like it is' in his quiet, nonthreatening manner and even though sometimes they do not like to hear what he says, they respect him for

the changes he has made in his own life."

Holly Gyulveszi in her Turnaround Achievement Award nomination
