Drykin Valentin

     I was born in Donetsk on the 25th of November 1982. My parents were engineers. As I was the first-born in the family they often expected a little bit more from the abilities that I had. During all my life I had a lot of hobbies among them were dancing, painting, swimming and oriental single combat. However, now and then my hobby is guitar playing, but sometimes I prefer wood engraving. Reading takes the most important place among all my hobbies.

     Since 1990 I had been studying in the school №45, in Donetsk, then I dropped it and passed into another one №12. Being the pupil I was keen of exact sciences: mathematics, physics, and chemistry. I was the winner of the regional contests in physics and information science. In 2000 graduated with honors.

     As computer engineering had been always interesting me it was not difficult to choose the future occupation. The specialty "Computer systems and technologies" interested me most of all as it included both computer engineering projecting and software development. In other words it was not a one-sided. And the real specialist had to know everything about PC working and software.

     In the University the special attention I had been paying to the disciplines which were connected with the construction and exploitation of local and global computer nets. Being the 4th year student I had been taking interest in information security. This sphere was very popular, there were a lot of unsolved problems but the specialists were not enough. Nowadays it is of current importance also.

     The theme of my graduation thesis is the construction of the methane concentration control systems in mines. This theme is very relevant in a view of our region's specific character. Some lecturers of our department are engaged in this development.

     The University graduation draws near. We are close to our goal. For most of us the diploma will determine our future. The computer sciences are the most rapidly developing sphere and this gives the nice aspects for working. The ability to study quickly and to master new knowledge is the most important thing for success. And this is just that thing we have been studying.
