Leah Darrow of America's Next Top Model -- Conversion Story
Film Focus: Former America’s Next Top Model Contestant, Leah Darrow, shares her re-version story in this video. After living the life of a fashion model, she had a deep re-version back to Catholicism in which she came to understand the importance of modesty and the dignity of each human person.
Text Focus: Page 307
Discussion Questions:
- If you were given the choice to pursue your dream career but you had to violate your moral principles, would you do so? Why did Leah choose to continue pursuing modeling?
- Have you ever had an experience similar to Leah’s when God called you away from the life you were living? Share your story, if possible.
- Do you consider modesty when you are dressing yourself each day? Do you consider your dignity as a human person when you choose clothes at the store? If not, what steps can you take to improve?
- What might Leah’s story have to teach you as a teen today?
