To change formulas on a blackboard for electronic warfare technologies against the enemy? Maryna, call sign ʼHappiness‘, managed to do the very thing 👩‍🏫

She used to teach maths and computer science in the Chernihiv region. However, in 2024, the school teacher made her final decision to join the Armed Forces. ʼI was looking for where I could be useful. I want to do it for my Ukraine‘ – Maryna could not stay away, especially since most of her nearest and dearest serve in the army.

Maryna joined the electronic warfare company of the 119th Territorial Defence Brigade. Her position is no easy walk and involves constant training, but Maryna says she has never regretted her choice. Even more, she considers the possibility of pursuing a military career after Ukraine’s victory.

Thank you for defending us, Maryna – may Happiness always be on your side! 🇺🇦

Can a rocky first impression send a teacher and parent tumbling toward one another?

Why be normal anyway? Except to appease the ghost of a prim Victorian schoolteacher.
