From Drew Mikkelsen’s article on the NWCN website:

Clarissa Jenkins didn’t let it bother her that the boys were laughing at her.

It helped motivate her to beat them.

“I’m competitive,” said Jenkins, a senior at North Thurston High School.

Last month Jenkins became a two-time state championship in a competition where students have five to seven minutes to demonstrate a job skill.

Jenkins’ event: repairing drum brakes.

She learned how to fix cars from her brother and in the school’s automotive class.
