    About this ebook

    You only thought your high school was hard!

    Maybe you can remember straining to understand difficult classes like Algebra or Physics. Well, things could have been worse. Did you ever consider trying to learn these subjects in a foreign language?

    Traces In Clay features the personalities in a ninth through eleventh grade mixed class at an international school in Korea. Join the students as they laugh, cry, and discover life. This book explores personalities and culture while revealing the students' growth as people. Here you will find touching stories and unforgettable personalities combined into a teacher’s last lesson.

      My Dear Students,

      As you know, I am not very good at saying goodbye. I have missed you this semester. In fact, as Christmas draws near, I feel that I am missing many family members because I am not with you this year!

      Anyway, I found myself wishing there was some way to share with you again. I would like to see how those who completed my upper level classes are doing, using what they learned. For those who never completed my upper level classes (those not in my old Faith and Hope classes), I wish there was some way to introduce you to more advanced concepts.

      Recently, I had the idea of reducing the key elements of my classes into short stories featuring certain students. The number of students in Faith class fit pretty well. Do not think that I care less for you because you did not fit into the stories or made you play a lesser role. I wish I could think of (and had time to write!) stories for all of you.

      In most of the stories, I tried to include things that really happened as well as things I imagined. (I have changed names in the print version for privacy!) Who could forget C and Eunji and the blanket, or J morning hikes and dukboki! So many more stories beg to be told. Gaeun and the elevator, Seowoo and the looonng walk, Younghee as John Wayne the Cowboy, Michael and the cool whip/shaving cream, Eunjoo and cowi bowi bo... the list could go on and on.

      I tried to catch your mannerisms and personality in each story even if I included imaginary elements (or elements from other people's stories). I should apologize to two of the kindest and gentlest boys in the school. Cheolsoo and Kyungsoo, I kind of used negative color images of your personalities at the beginning of your story. Please forgive me for the sake of the story!

      As I wrote, I felt that I could almost see all of you once again. I hope you have as much fun reading these stories as I had writing them.
