BYU student Kate Hansen training for 2014 Olympic luge

You’ve probably passed her on campus and didn’t recognize her. You may have had a class with a world-class athlete and didn’t know it. After meeting Kate Hansen, you would never guess she flies down a track at speeds of up to 100 mph while lying on a sled, but the BYU freshman likes it that way. She prefers to go unnoticed. “It nice to not have a label here,” Hansen says. “In high school I was always ‘the luger’ and when I came to BYU I didn’t want to tell anyone about it. A lot of kids in my ward still have no idea and that’s the way I want it. I don’t want to be judged in a good way or a bad way because of it. I want people to like me for me.”

Are You a Shepherd or a Wise Man?

For as long as I can remember, my grandma has hand made a Christmas ornament each year for each one of her grandkids. This is a real labor of love since, at last count, she has 46 grandkids. She has always loved making things with her hands. This little collection of ornaments has become a real treasure to me, especially since my grandma had a stroke about 4 ½ years ago and she is no longer able to make them. The ornaments I have from the earlier years are pretty, but during the last 4-5 years before her stroke, she started making each of the pieces of the nativity. These are the ones I really love.
