Childhood

My parents got acquainted meeting the new year of 1984 in the plant's club. It was a love from the first sight, resulted with my birth on June 25, 1985.

We lived in a big and very friendly family: my granny, mother, father, me and my youngest brother. After graduating from Donetsk Polytechnic Institute my mum worked as an engineer of the department of the chief power engineering specialist at the chemical-recovery plant. My father graduated from the late department of the historical faculty of Donetsk State University working machine operative of benzol department at the same plant. My grandmother was mainly occupied with our upbringing.

When I was a child, в прочем как и все, I didn't like to go to the kinder-garden, time for sleeping and cooked semolina, like all my garden-mates though. The most pleasant and vivid recollections are the celebrations, morning performances, especially New Year, sacks with the presents from Grandfather Frost. I was largely impressed also by my travels with my parents to the Crimea, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Georgia and Russia.

My brother is the best friend of mine who is keen on the history and culture of Ancient Rome. He is good company and exciting storyteller. I remember the times when the walls in our room were hidden by the political and physical world maps and we dreamed about countries and continents falling asleep at night.

At the age of 6 my parents brought me to the children's choreographic company of people's dance "Donetskye iskorki" ("Little Donetsk Sparks"). Then I couldn't even think that my dance classes have played so significant role in my life.

School

I went to school in 1992. From the very start my granny got my studies under control. She taught me to the diligence and responsibility. I owe her all the good I have in my life. She stays the main adviser and critic of mine. It was at school, where I got acquainted with my best friend, whom I frequently meet with.

I cannot say that this stage of my life was boring. It is nice to remember our school trips to Sevastopol, Kyiv and Lviv; visiting the Donetsk theatre and Opera-house.

University

I was graduated from school with honors. What next..? Get the higher education? Certainly YES! Among all school subjects I was mainly interested in mathematics and chemistry. That's why I had no doubts about the place of further studies - I decided to continue my family tradition and, neglecting all the "professions in fashion", become a heating engineer. Excellent results of my rating tests allowed me to enter the university. I remember my elation when I saw my name enrolled into the list.

After entering the University a new life began: new acquaintances, first session and first emotions. The 1st year stack in my mind most of all. And there were so many parties, which we celebrated together!

From the 1st year I started going to the adult ensemble "Yunist Donbasa" ("Donbas Youth") Due to this event in my life, I traveled through all Europe. Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Toledo, Rome, Palermo, Syracuse, Brussels, Ostend, Bruges… and these are least but not last! I like so much the European tours of our ensemble - folklore festivals, getting acquaintance with the culture of the peoples of the world, new impressions, new friends…

The year of 2006 - I have got the bachelor degree! The state exam was passed with the "excellent" grade and now I am going to my master's degree. At the moment I am writing my master work under the direction of Nicolay Federovych Parakhin

The direction I chose is always of a great importance. I suppose nobody can imagine our life without telecommunications. I hope I will be essential in this sphere. I am sure I will succeed in getting a good job and gain all that aspire to have.
