    Childhood

    I was born on 11 October 1988, Dokuchaevsk town, Donetsk region.

    Mother – Trofimenko Elena, concertmaster of the Donetsk Oblast Philharmonic.

    Father – Chirikalo Sergey, a private entrepreneur.

    The first 3 years of my life we lived in Uman, Cherkasy region. But then moved back to Dokuchayevsk.

    July 8, 1990 my brother Vanya was born. Since then, we were together everywhere. As I'm the older sister, it was necessary to protect and teach all that I knew my younger brother.

    We have different characters, so we have completely opposite point of view to many questions. Our frequent disputes taught me not only to listen to people, but how to defend my point of view.

    Now, when we grew up, basically, Vanya's teaches and tells you how to act properly.

    School

    1995 I went to first grade. But after 2.5 months of studying at home Vania also enrolled in our class. We never sat at one desk and always competed with each other.

    In high school I was very quiet child. I was a good student and loved different school activities.

    Furthermore I went to the dancing, to the music school, extra classes in English. There was the first price at competitions in ballroom dancing. And, of course, exemplary choir "Lyra", under the leadership Pereiaslavskaya Nataly.

    That's the chorus we played in the concert hall "Russia" in Moscow at the festival "Children of Russia to the new millennium" (2000 – 2001), at the reporting concert of the Donetsk region on the Arts in Kiev (2002). Six months later at the festival Struve in Artek, where we won the Grand Prix. In 2003 we ranked first among children's choirs, and 4th place in the Grand Prix competition at the festival "World Music" in Riva del Garda, Italy. That time in the chorus show me how the music you feels, captivates the audience, what is the taste of victory, and how to work to win her.

    In the eighth grade I started to think about the future profile. The question was between Physics and English. Then I chose English. And the following year was admitted to part-time school "Erudit", at the English language and literature department. Once every 3 weeks at the weekend there were profiled classes: English, American literature, technical English, rhetoric, etc.

    After graduating from school with a gold medal, I entered OSSIU "Erudit" in the Humanities class. But after six months the profile testing has shown bias towards the sciences. Thus, early in grade 11 I decided to enter a technical university, to the specialty related to programming.

    In general, with great teachers and my friends' support I catch up in math and programming I've missed.

    University

    In 2005 I enrolled DonNTU to the speciality "Computer ecological-economic monitoring"

    It was difficult, but interesting. Lectures, developing the first "kilometer, three-story" equations and the stupid errors in programs ...

    As well as organizing events and a favorite place for remote control: Miss Faculty 2008 and 2009, the days of the departments KSM and PMI, Vtulka project, the days of the faculty, and taking part in the organization of the international conference ...

    In 2006 I went to the additional courses in Java programming language. And if the courses we have studied were more particularly devoted to the platform and how to build a user interface, the university tasks were more mathematical problems.

    Thus, quietly passed 4 years. And it was the uneasy choice of specialty in the magistracy.

    In the masters I went to the specialty "Information Control Systems and Technologies", Automated Control Systems department. Students and teachers of the ACU department welcomed me very friendly. New friends, new and interesting subjects and teachers.

    Future plans

    Programming – is something that I really like. And I want to succeed in it. Obtain a certificate from the Java-developer from Sun Microsystems, Inc. Participate in and may be lead interesting and challenging projects. To develop new directions in IT, related to other specializations. As well as share my knowledge with the new generations of programmers.
