Unrequited love, feeling different, being different, living as an outcast from society...what if there are others out there who feel the same, people you can connect with, a place to belong? From amidst the silence and darkness emerges a light of hope, of connection, of love through the beauty of the written word. Join La Quinta High School's Creative Writing Students in enjoying their fifth anthology: Spacing Out, written and edited entirely by high school students under the guidance of award-winning author Amanda LaPera. So, go ahead and space out, let your imagination roam, and see life through a new lens.Authors: Diane Bui, Andy Cu, Hiep Do, Aimee Geck, Jennifer Ho, Kelly Ho, Michelle Hoang, Keanu Hua, Nancy Huynh, Jessica Lai, Michelle Lam, Tiffany Le, Bethanie Luu, Vy Ngo, Christina Nguyen, Jacqueline Duyen Nguyen, Kayla Nguyen, Valerie Nguyen, Aysha Pena, Kathy Pham, Ngoc Pham, Krista Phanpraphou, Iris Sanchez, Daniela Solano, Vivian Tang, Phuong Traceyle, Paulvina Tran, Sophia Trejo, Jacqueline Truong, Christine Vu
