who we are

SANA MUNIR never planned on becoming a substitute teacher. In fact, when the idea first came up, she was hesitant—especially about working in middle schools. Friends warned her it would be too difficult, and even her daughter advised against it. But with encouragement from a professor friend, she decided to take the leap. What she discovered surprised her: middle schoolers weren’t as intimidating as she’d been told—they were curious, lively, and often full of unexpected kindness.

That experience opened a new chapter in her life. With a master’s degree in commerce and over 50 units in early childhood education, SANA MUNIR had always been close to the world of learning, but substitute teaching gave her a new perspective. Each day in the classroom brought something different—whether it was guiding students through music practice, helping with a drama performance, or cheering on kids during a triathlon event. These moments weren’t just teaching experiences; they were learning opportunities for her as well.

Through substitute teaching, [Your Name] found herself growing alongside her students. She realized that substitutes aren’t just “fill-ins”—they are vital supporters of schools, often stepping into classrooms with little preparation and making a difference anyway. That’s why she wrote this book: to encourage others who may be considering substitute teaching, to share the ups and downs honestly, and to show that even a single day in the classroom can leave a lasting impact on both the students and the substitute.

Her hope is simple—that readers see themselves in her journey, feel less alone in their challenges, and find the inspiration to embrace substitute teaching not just as a job, but as a chance to shape lives and discover new possibilities for themselves.
