Dec. 19 There was a distinct moment when Brooke Jackson knew she wanted to teach.
A 22-year-old Washington State University College of Education student who grew up in Puyallup, Jackson said she was working at a day care when a young girl came up to her with a revelation. I remember she came up to me and said, Wow, you look like me, Jackson, who is African American, told The News Tribune.
