| I was born in 1991 in Murmansk. At that time my family lived in a 2-room flat in Kirov Street. Five years ago we moved to a bigger flat in Bering Street that is where we live now. It is a nice place, I must admit.
At the age of 3 I went to kindergarten, and at 7 – to school. I was quite good at mathematics when at school, but I didn't work hard on the other subjects. My parents were disappointed. In their opinion I should have become a great scientist at least. But I decided to become a seaman.
I tried not to waste time in my last year at school. I improved my physics and English and got excellent marks for both at my final exams.
At 10 I joined our school basketball club. In fact training did me a lot of good. I was rather fitthen.
At 17 I finished school, passed my final exams successfullyand was admitted to the University as a first-year cadet.
