I was born on July 11, 1983 in Moscow. My parents are Sorokina Irina Mihaylovna and Sorokin Aleksandr Ivanovich. Mum is a doctor by profession, she is a stomatologist, and daddy is a doctor-gastroentorologist. To my greatest regret I am an only child in the family.
In childhood I dreamed to become a doctor, just like my parents, in particular a doctor-stomatologist, as well as my mum. My childhood was public enough as I got in a society in 1,2 years already when my parents sent me to a day nursery because of their full-time employment. When I was about three years old we lived in the city of Belopolje in Sumy region, where my parents were having internship, which is 3 years of practice for doctors after graduation from the institute. Then we moved to Donetsk, the native city of my parents where one of my grandmothers lived and still lives.
Naturally after the arrival to Donetsk I was sent to a kindergarten. It was situated near Donetsk polytechnic school where my grandmother worked. Therefore the rest of my preschool years was connected with the kindergarten "Ogonyok" and with the polytechnic school.
In 1990 I went to the first form of secondary school ¹ 61, but after one year of study I was transferred to school ¹ 15. At school everything was very interesting to me, I could find something interesting in each subject, even in the most boring. In primary school I took a great interest in reading. Any information attracted my attention as well as it does now. At the same time, due to such attachment to books, my eye-sight worsened but then I did not attach great importance to it. Since elementary forms I was a very ambitious child and I always aspired that results of my study were better than others or at least to reach the maximum level of my abilities.
I was always engaged in something: gymnastics, variety dancing, embroidery, knitting, but as I grew older I took a great and serious interest in track and field athletics and ballroom dances.
My school memories will be forever connected with my teachers, the first teacher - Shamray Nina Nikolaevna, the class teacher of 10-11 forms Morgunova Julia Efimovna, and, certainly, with my friends and schoolmates.
Due to my successful enough study participation in the Olympics always was an inseparable circumstance. Usually I was in the first five, but I took the prize-winning place only in one of the Olympics in chemistry in the 10th form.
In 2000 I finished school with a golden medal. But even in the 11th form I began to think about what higher educational institution to enter. My school was humanitarian, with the profound study of law and history, mathematics and physics were optional subjects, and computer science was absent as such at all. Since he 7th I wanted very much to become a lawyer. But my dream did not come true because in Donetsk the juridical basis is weak. I was offered to enter a higher educational institution in Kharkov but my mum refused flatly to let me study in other city and recommended to choose any higher educational establishment in Donetsk. I decided in favour of Donetsk National Technical University (DNTU). As my knowledge of the exact sciences was not sufficient for entering I chose chemistry which I knew well enough. I have chosen a speciality at random and after writing rating tasks I have joined DNTU.
I cannot say that I liked everything we studied but a specialist should have not only narrow knowledge in the chosen profession, but he or she must be well-developed in other spheres!!:))))) Apart from study, I have always been interested in DNTU public life (I am even a trade union organizer of my group): students' amateur performances, various activities which are organized by our university, trips to the sanitary-sports camp "Burevestnik" where I go with my friends every summer and we cannot imagine how the summer will pass without this camp; trips to the recreation centre "Krasnaya gvozdika" in winter. All this unites students very much, and I would like to say many thanks to all the organizers of our winter and summer holidays, and also to those people which are occupied with us at places of rest. It is impossible to forget that atmosphere which is created by these people and because of these impressions we, all the students, long for this place again every year.
Once I understood that nowadays it is rather difficult to live without a job and I don't feel like constantly asking parents for money so I began to earn additionally: first as a waiter in a cafe, then as a promoter (by now I have had working experience of 3 years already). To work as a waiter was hard enough, because it takes a lot of time and I have no time to study. But the work of a promoter is very interesting and it is not connected with the big time expenditure. I like very much to communicate with different people, it is this opportunity that my job gives me.
During study I got interested in the theme of metals enamelling and dyes which are used in enamelling. I started my student's research work under the guidance of Professor Belomerya Nikolay Iosifovich on the theme "The use of unconventional dyes in the enamelling process". I am engaged in this theme till now; it is very captivating and probably it can be used in the future in mass production. Now I taking a master's degree course and the study is interesting enough, though I thought it would be a little different.
In the nearest future I would like to graduate from the university and to find an interesting job which will be paid adequately. I don't want to make further plans, because our life is valuable for its unpredictability, it is interesting to live when you learn something new every day .....
