I was born on the 28th of September 1983 in the city of Makeyevka in Donetsk region. In spite of the fact that this event happened on a rainy day, my Mom Vostrikova Irina Leonidovna and my Daddy Vostrikov Alexander Vasilievich were very happy as I was the first child in the family. In 2 years my parents gave a birth to my sister Kseniya. I became a support and a teacher for my sister. We are very friendly with her and can’t imagine living without one another.
    In the age of three I began to attend a kindergarten "Dandelion". There I understood for the first time how interesting it is to communicate with children of my age. At preschool age I was interested in dances but I gave them up lately to my great regret. Now I recollect those years as the brightest period of my life.
   In September 1990, being the seven years old, I became the pupil of the first form of the school №8 in Makeyevka. Then I opened a new world for myself – the world that was full of new and unknown. Difficulties of study which I didn’t know before haven’t overcome me. Due to my diligence and desire not to be worse than others I became the round honours pupil at once. I always participated in school competitions in this or that subject. I also participated in regional competitions in mathematics, geography and in the Ukrainian language.
    Since eight years' studied at musical school №3 of city of Makeevka on a class of a piano. During study I participated in many concerts, including as the accompanist. I have finished school with distinction, however hot freguently I sit for the instrument - there is no time.
    Another perspective for us was to enter Donetsk State Technical University, which now has the status of National University (DonNTU). For a long time I couldn’t choose the faculty and the speciality I would like to study. I have never before seriously thought about my future occupation. Till now I don’t know what made me chose the mechanical faculty and the speciality “Material sciense”, probably it was a casual choice, destiny. Another reason that affected my decision was that it was possible to study on a budget form of training. I also had a thought to receive some second speciality but till now I haven’t realized this thought. In general in the end of my last year of study at the school I made up my mind about the faculty I will study at and about the speciality. As well as the majority of my schoolmates I decided to become a student of the University by means of rating tests. I have successfully passed rating tests and was recommended for entrance the University.
   In 2000 a new stage of my life has come. I finished the school and became a student of DonNTU. I was sure that years of study at the University will be one of the best years of my life. Being a student already I also tried to study well and I was a success in this. A good stimulus for me to study well was the possibility to gain a grant.
    Upon termination of a 4 rate I have received the bachelor's degree on a direction "material sciense". On the offer cjntinue training in a magistrature willingly has agreed. In 2004 I have married, and in February, 2005 have given birthto the daughter - to Alexandra. in vew of this event, training should be postponed for one year.
    My nearest plans for the future are to finish the magistrature successfully and to get the diploma. I don’t know what is waiting for me in the future then. I would like to find a good job on my speciality and to use all the knowledge I got practically.
