is played while reading.

Talk about a change of pace: here's a high school English teacher
who's about to become the sole teacher to eight students in a
one-room K-5 schoolhouse in a seriously rural area of Maine. Am I
nervous about the upcomig year? Yeah, a little bit. But I sort of
like being anxious, for it encourages me to be more prepared than
I think I need to be. I remember feeling like this as a kid when I
first learned how to dive off the high diving board.

"And Im free, free fallin
Yeah Im free, free fallin."
