When Dancer Becomes Soldier
Patriotism is such a thing that can inspire people to do anything for the country. This is a recent instance in Ukraine wherein how one lady citizen of the country sacrifices her career to defend her country. She is a role model for the world as she is a lady artist who has enrolled herself in the military to defend her country against the aggression of Russia.
The 30 years Ms. Olesia Vorotnyk is a Ballerina with the National Opera of Ukraine. She is a professional dancer in her country. Her son and husband were killed in Russian supported conflict three years ago. After that, she took up the soldier position at a checkpoint with an AK-47. Rifle. Olesia also helped to evacuate civilians when it was encircled by Russian troops. Even joining the Army was difficult for her because authorities wanted experienced people.

However, she found some similarities between Military service and Ballet. Ballet also requires discipline and strength of mind. i.e. To face pain. She also experienced pain staying on her toes during ballet performances which give pain. Sometimes even feet also bleed in the process.
In the beginning, she was assigned the duty of guarding a neighborhood near Kyiv. She also worked in the military for creating pride in her countrymen. She also wants the future generation of Ukraine to grow up with strong confidence.
She returns now to her profession but she knows very well that any time she can be called back to serve military at any time. Hence she regularly practices shooting every day.
In short, she is the living example of the high morale of Ukraine people who are facing the aggression of mighty Russia.
