My students and I spent about a week with young Mr. Wollman in Costa Rica on an educational tour. While Troy wasn't a student of mine, I can say that he is well spoken, articulate, friendly, outgoing, and is a big fan of self-improvement for the sake of improving himself. He is eager to discover things he doesn't yet know, and willing to explore alternatives to his existing ideas in numerous areas. These are all traits that lead me to believe he will be an asset to anyone around him.
