KeLeigh Edwards, Miss <strong>TROY</strong> 2012<br />
By Dr. Pat Warren<br />
KeLeigh Edwards, Miss<strong>TROY</strong> 2012, has discovered<br />
two things that she is enthusiastic about: children<br />
and education.<br />
The daughter of Charles and Lenita Edwards, the<br />
Elementary Education major was born in Columbus,<br />
Ga., but presently lives in Smith Station.<br />
She states that an emphasis on education has<br />
always been a part of her life. Having graduated from<br />
a small school, KeLeigh stated that <strong>Troy</strong> <strong>University</strong> has<br />
been a blessing to her. “<strong>TROY</strong> has allowed me to be<br />
exposed to various international people and cultures.”<br />
Through these experiences she has developed a<br />
deeper respect for people and their beliefs.<br />
KeLeigh’s platform as Miss <strong>TROY</strong> is “Volunteerism:<br />
Giving the Gift of Time.” She stated that volunteering<br />
“allows a person to learn about themselves. All people,<br />
regardless of age, can find some way to help others.”<br />
Being Miss <strong>TROY</strong>, KeLeigh wanted to find<br />
something that would promote the university.<br />
It was through a class on children’s literature that<br />
she realized that writing a children’s book about the<br />
university might provide that avenue.<br />
Along with her art teacher, Pam Oglesby, KeLeigh<br />
composed a children’s book entitled “T-Roy Lends A<br />
Hand.”<br />
<strong>TROY</strong> fans might catch a glimpse of KeLeigh<br />
passing out copies of her book to children who<br />
attend sporting events.<br />
KeLeigh Edwards reads her book,<br />
“T-Roy Lends A Hand,” to elementary<br />
school children in Smith Station, Ga.<br />
