Parens: Kakushina Elena and Kakushin Sergei.

Duringmy preschool years our family often moved from one district of the town to another. Thats why I can remember my visiting the kindergarten under the name of "Squirrel" must of all. I was a very active and curivus child, I liked to gather insects and often brought them to kindergarten.

As the district, where we stayed to live was a new ont and prosperous, I went to school N49 in 1990 , a new built and giving large hopes educational instituthion, an initial experience of communication bright impression, but the best girl-friend Orlovich Iren (now Oleynikova). We are great friends up to now. I am very proud of such a friendship. My schoolyears were very happy and interesting. During that time I could take part in three school-olympiads, change three classes, receive for honorary diplomas. I took part in a great number of competitions and school actions.

In 1997 I finished a Musical school at a piano department.

In 2000 I left school, was awarded a Gold Medal and a school-leaving certificate. I stood before the problem choosing my future way of life. During my school years everything was going on by the ordinary way, and I had no any plans for future. It was necessary during three months in summer to choose a profession, to hand in papers to the best University and to enter it. It was not difficult to choose a University. My moter had graduated from the Donetsk Polytechnical Institute (now it is a National Technical University (DonNTU)), which became for me the only one. I was choosing my professional due to my character. As for me, I don't like to be slated jn jnt plfce for a long time. That's why I thought my work had to be active. I was good at mathematics from the times of a primary school. Thus my speciality should be bound with calculations. As a result I chose mining-geological faculty, the department of the technology of prospecting the deposuts and coalfields. I entered the University having passed the test, and in a month I found my name in the list of those, who entered the University. My joy went off, when looking at the time-table, I realized, that it was necessary to master not only mfthemftics an technical scinces, but to learn the labyrinths of the large University. September the 1st 2000 I spent in a stormy tempo of a flow of students, in search of the next lecture-hall and building. However time went on und I got accustomed to it and now DonNTU is my second home.

Speaking about studies, it is never easy. Studying is always a hard work.

In spite of that fact, that my profession is mainly for men, I am satisfied with my choice. I learned many useful things at the University. I was lucky to get knowledges from the best professors of the country, to associate with interesting people. And finally I mad an acquaintance with my nearest man - Popov Denis whom I married in2003 .

During my studies I cleared up, that the geological work is in a poor state in our country and is in need not only of a financial aid, but of a technical aid as well. Especially in the field of drilling there are a lot of problems. One of these problems is a lach of means for fast and qualitative selection of the ground on the shelf. To solve such a problem I shall try by my intensive work. The group of department workers of technology of prospecting the deposuts and coalfields tried to solve the problem earlier. It was not difficult for me to choose the scientific director. I was in good terms with the docent Ryasanov Andrey and he became my tutor. The aim of our work was to work out the sample selection with the increasing blow power for drilling of the engineering-geological sea chinks.
