Hannah Teter looks like a typical teenager, not someone you would expect to see in a luxurious (奢华的) hotel. But that’s exactly where she was, transformed from a small town girl with big dreams to a gold-medal snowboarder getting the big-time "star" treatment.

Ever since her incredible performance in the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Torino, Italy, Hannah has been showered with attention. She’s done countless interviews, appearing on shows like Jimmy Kimmel and David Letterman. It’s a long way from Belmont, Vermont, with its population of 421 people.

"I grew up in a tiny town and a small school, I was just this hometown girl," said Hannah, during a break at the World Congress of Sport, a major conference about the business of sports being held in New York City. While her life has definitely changed in the last few weeks, one thing remains the same — her positive attitude. "The funny thing is that I still feel like an ordinary snowboard girl... People ask me, ‘So has your head gotten any bigger?’ but I don’t feel like it’s gotten any bigger. I still feel normal."

What’s the biggest lesson that Hannah has learned through her unbelievable success?"I grew up in Vermont, "Hannah said. "I have that kind of background where life’s about snowboarding, but it’s so much more than that. This is an opportunity to get out there and maybe make a change in the world."

And it looks like she is doing just that. She is starting a sugar brand named "Hannah’s Gold", and the profits(利润) will go to World Vision, an international charity that helps everyone from orphans(孤儿)in Asia to AIDS victims in Africa. "People come up to me and they’re excited about what I’ve done, "Hannah said." And that makes me excited, because I love what I do."
