Short biography:

My parents

I was born in a family of musicians. I was always surrounded by music, well-educated people, culture and art. This was very helpful in forming an outlook on the world and his understanding. My mother, Tatiana Ivanovna, is a musician and piano teacher. She is a highly-qualified specialist who teaches children to be as a good musician as she is. My father, Alexander Yakovlevich, was a senior cello teacher in a music college. He also worked in the orchestra of the Theatre of Opera and traveled all over the world with it on tours. I am so happy that my parents made me the person I am today.

Childhood...

My childhood was very interesting and merry, especially for my parents. I was a pampered child, but nevertheless clever enough. At age 2 I knew the alphabet and made certain attempts at reading. I am not sure, if it was a real success, but I did it with help of my grandmother, who all her life worked as a philologist. Also she helped me to capture competent Russian speech and spelling. Being in kindergarten was very interesting and stimulating. I was there with my cousin’s son, so we did everything together. We especially loved to laugh. But, nevertheless studying took place as well, which was as easy as anything for me. In my childhood I changed some kindergartens, but the last was in school ¹2 which gave me my initial knowledge.

School years

School years began when I finished kindergarten. I started immediately with second grade. I went to school ¹33. Although I was officially registered there, I didn’t actually go there. I was taught by a private teacher using the national education program. When this program ended, I started going to school ¹22. I completed the next two grades with excellent marks. When I began playing football, my priorities became a bit divided and I began study less than I did before. Because of this, my marks began to slip. Nevertheless, I learnt all I needed, but didn’t aim to show it to my teachers.

After eighth grade, I started going to Donetsk College. This educational establishment involved an in-depth study of all subjects and was separate from school. My parents insisted on my going there and I got in, easily passing the entrance exams. I found many advantages to my new school. They are teachers with teachers’ methods of teaching. I also found a lot of friends there with whom I still keep in touch. My time spent there was the happiest of my life. I was part of a group which daily attracted attention not just for bad behavior but also for good marks. When it came time for graduation I had tears in my eyes because I had spent the most incredible time of my life there.

University

At DonNTU I began studying Automated Control of Technological Processes. It was interesting and I learned a lot. There were a lot of events in which I took part including different national and regional conferences. Also with the department’s team I won some competitions in indoor football between departments and between universities. In my first year I took part in the university’s English competition and got tenth place. It could have been higher, but nobody helped me to reach this aim.

Then I realized that I really wanted to take part in another way of education. And because of that I was hired at the bank. I worked there for half a year while studying full-time. My work there did not effect my studies negatively, but was rather only a positive experience. Because of this I got an excellent mark on the “national exam”, which gave me the chance to study Management of Innovative Processes, also at DonNTU. Studying here is very interesting and useful. The thesis advisor is our dean. I chose him in order to spend my time in a very unusual way and to get as much useful information as possible from him. Alongside that, I’m writing a thesis on ACP, and also studying the Economics of Enterprises at DonNU.

Plans for the future!

In future I am going to end all my undertakings and try to find some ideas to create my own business or successful career. I have definitely determined aims and dreams which I am going to reach. It is necessary to have a goal in life. And if this does not exist there is no sense even to live. I want to do something that helps people in the future.
