I was born on February 15, 1987 in Donetsk. My mother Valentina (1955) is a head of laboratory in Donetsk dermatovenerologic dispensary no.2 and my father Vitaly Ivanovich (1953) currently works as an engineer at JSC Donetsk Steel Works. I have an older sister Victoria Alexeyeva (1980) who has graduated DonNTU as a computer-aided systems software specialist and now works in "Boolat Game Development Company" as a head of localization department

I clearly remember my childhood at kindergarten, my teachers and children who were there with me. I remember my first friends and games. Unfortunately at that time I considered loosing in a game to be a real disaster. So every time I was loosing a game I felt bitter disappointment. The brightest moments of that period were our festivities and parties, where I wore curious costumes.

1994 I entered Donetsk high school no.119. My schooldays were full of interesting events and encounters, as I tended to learn and know more about surrounding world and social life. Besides of school lessons I chose different activities to broaden my horizons.

Already at the first form I began attending a dancing class at the local Music and Art school. During the period of my studying there I participated in many district, municipal and regional holiday concerts, performed on the stage of Donetsk Opera Theatre and was welcome at our school parties and concerts for parents. In the fifths form Kharlanovskaya Veronika Leonidovna became our form mistress and added more creativity and diversity to our school life. But I didn’t forget about school lessons, won several school and municipal academic competitions and got excellent results year after year. I was very active at that period and later and I also was one of the leaders in the social life of our school.

I liked dancing and I have studied it for 5 years but there were 2 years more to study till the end of the course, when I decided that dancing was not my real wish. I left the Music and Art school despite of resistance: they said I was talented at dancing. But dancing lessons took all the spare time I had and moreover I was inspired by eastern martial arts and decided to take karate-do lessons. During my training I took part in several district and city competitions organized by S. A. Lapshin’s school of martial arts.

So sport appeared to be special for me at my schooldays. I always liked different kinds of sport. I played in our basketball school team and took part in track-and-field events. I also was a school platoon leader in various marching and military art competitions, where we won first places several times. My interest in sport was at it’s highest point in the eighths form, when I went to a Children and Youth Sports School no. 1. I regarded pole-vaulting and short sprint to be the most attractive and spectacular kinds of sport that’s why I chose short sprint. The first half-year of my training was really difficult, but I liked it in spite of constant tiredness. And then there was a moment when I saw progress. I began winning in our Sport School events and then in municipal and regional contests in 60, 100 and 200 meters. My achievements in athletics were useful for my regular school, but at the eleventh form I had to choose between sport and education. When you train sport, you have to change your way of life accordingly, you have to hold to a special diet, keep up day regimen and attend all training sessions. These are the basics of professional sport. I tried to combine studying at school and sport training but I was constantly tired and I had no spare time, so I failed.

At the same time my social life at school flourished. At the beginning of the ninth form I was invited to be a presenter at several parties and by the middle of that school year I was a host at all cultural events of our school. That was the reason why I came to our school theatre The Pink Deer. I played many parts in our performances but the most interesting were Hector in Apple of Discord and Hagrid in Harry Potter. I finished school with gold medal.

In 2001-2005 our government developed and carried into practice a program Gifted Children, and I was recorded in the list of gifted children of Budyonnovsky District of Donetsk. As a result in August 2004 a group of gifted children from Chernovtsy came for a vocation to Melekino on the Azov Sea shore and a group of gifted children from Donetsk went to a forest camp in Chernovtsy. That was an unforgettable experience! At the beginning of the eleventh form I started preparing for the preliminary examination to Donetsk National Technical University. I chose Computer Science and Engineering Department and as it appeared later my choice was the best I could make. In summer 2004 I successfully passed the exams and entered the University.
