Since my birth I was an unusual child. I was born without any medical assistance on the 5th of September 1981 in my parent's house in the city of Gorlovka. This fact proves the indipendence of my person. My mom, Tatyana Vasiljevna Bondarenko, works as lamp room keeper at the mine 'Kalinina', my dad, Sergey Anatoljevich Bondarenko, is a citizen of the Russian Federation where he works as fitter.
I do not remember the name of the kindergarten, but I didn't like it there at once – they treated everybody alike and I demanded special attitude. I showed my discontent by loud cries and tears. My parents considered such arguments convincing and took me away from the kindergarten. As my parents were both working, they couldn't find enough time for me, that's why my grandma, Lydia Ivanovna Isaeva, took care of me. I was with her all the time at home and at work – in the diesel locomotive depot. The grandmother worked as the warehouse keeper and did a lot of paperwork. I learned to write and read very early due to her influence. Walking around the depot, I got acquainted with different interesting people, studied machines and mechanisms, trying to understand, how they worked. I helped my grandma with all the work and, actually, I was her assistant. All workers of the depot both guards and the director knew and always supported me. The most important thing is that they entrusted easy work to me.
Having well developed imagination, I made up secret passages and underground vaults, travels full of adventures, new star worlds; this was promoted by my early enthusiasm for elementary astronomy and geography. I could spend hours watching the star sky, listening to stories about UFO and space flights, and studying the geographical map of the world.
The next stage of my life started in 1988, when I entered school # 62. For the first 5 years of school our form for different reasons had had seven form-masters, it didn't affect my progress though. I had excellent grades, received diplomas, and won in school chess tournaments. In the sixth form I was offered to be transferred to the form with in-depth math study at school # 22 and I agreed to it. The school requirements were unusually high for me, that's why my grades became worse. Different teachers and form-masters kept coming and going. For the last 3 years of school our form-master was Tatyana Petrovna Savenko, a teacher of mathematics. Thanks to her efforts I learned math very well also developed the optimum approach to studying exact sciences. At school I treated all disciplines alike. My memory allowed me not to read lecture notes at home – I memorized everything during lessons at school.
After school I took entrance examinations at Gorlovka road-transport institute for 4 times. I always missed several points to be enrolled on a budgetary basis, because I couldn't afford to pay tuition fees. After another unsuccessful exam I accidentally met teachers of Gorlovka machine-building college (GMC) in the corridor of the institute, who suggested me to study 'machine and automatic line material processing' at their college by results of interview.
On entering GMC, I wanted to try to enter the institute in a year again. However, these attempts were not successful again, and I decided to stay at college, as I got interested in my major more and more. I wanted to make an expert in this field. While at GMC I participated in many inner contests and took prize-winning places. I won first place in the city engineering drawing contest, and took the second place in the state 'technology of machine building contest.
After graduating from GMC with honors I became a third year student at Donetsk National Technical University (DonNTU) with 'Technology of machine building' as a major. I made a good showing at the university and got involved in the research work by my first scientific adviser Andrey Vasiljevich Matvienko. The subject of my research work was 'Efficiency improvement of abrasive processing by the method of grain orientation'. When my adviser had to go to the USA to continue his scientific work, I got a new adviser, Victor Vasiljevich Polchenko. Though he works in another scientific direction, he did not change the theme of my work, but only corrected it for master's thesis. While in DonNTU I took part in student's conferences and published articles in the "Engineer" magazine. I hope to successfully compose and present my master's thesis, and to continue my scientific work in post-graduate study. Maybe, I'll try to work for doctor's degree then. I am willing to constantly up-grade my knowledge level. I am not looking just for my personal benefit, but for the benefit of other people.
My hobbies are hunting and fishing, football and photography, decorative wood and metal processing, chess and science fiction.
