I believe her skills as a former teacher let Tracy see Jennifer has the ability to succeed. She only lacks self-confidence. Tracy wants to help build her confidence.
I think she had multiple motives. Tracy didn’t want to be the only woman and needed Jennifer to not fail. And, like you say, Sharon, she saw traits in her that convinced her Jennifer could succeed. Tracy is insightful, highly analytical and intuitive.
I think as a teacher she doesn't like to see students fail (even if they aren't her students) and if she can help - that is what she'll do. As a woman - I would think it would be personal to help and make sure both she and Jennifer made it through the Academy.
I agree with everyone. Tracy has a teaching background and is going to help others get through the Academy if she can.
I agree too. I think a big part of her reason was that she had the teacher mentality and didn't want to see Jennifer fail.
I wasn't as quick to tie in her teaching experience with the mentoring; duh, and I even trained to teach high school chemistry! Of course, Nolasko was stuck in junior high, imho :-)
Junior high boys are a handful. I was a substitute teacher for a time, and hated when I was assigned a junior high.
