Lukyanenko Mikhail

    I was born on March 9 1984 in a little village Kurakhovka in Donetsk region. My parents are Lukyanenko Irina Georgievna and Lukyanenko Alexander Ivanovich. I have a brother Vlad. I didn’t go to the kindergarten because I was with my grandmother. She took care of me and my upbringing. I liked to listen to fairy-tales and I knew many poems by heart. In general I was a very curious child. When I was 6 years old I knew all the Russian alphabet. I was able to count and write.

   SCHOOL YEARS

    In 1990 I went to school. I visited the lessons before my school studies. Then I got acquainted with my future classmates. It was too easy to study in the first form. I took part in all competitions at my school. At that period of my life I wanted to play the piano. That’s why my parents helped this little boy’s dream come true. There were wonderful years of my life. In the fifth form my studing became difficult, there were many different teachers. The years from the fifth to the ninth form flew very quickly. I studied very hard, so I was an excellent pupil. I took part in many school (town) tests (olympiads) in different subjects and I won the second place in Geography and the third place in Ukrainian. I finished the ninth form with the excellent school-leaving certificate. Then I continued my education at secondary school and took a good school-leaving certificate.

   CHOISE OF UNIVERSITY

    When I studied in the eleventh form I thought about my future profession too much. There were many roads before me. But I decided that my future profession must be important and needed for everybody. At last I chose Donetsk National Technical University and specialty mining engineer and geomechanic, because the coal industry is the leading in our region and it needs professional workers. After the successful exams I entered DonNTU.

   STUDENT’S YEARS

    The first days of studies at the university were very difficult for me, because I had to get used to new conditions of life. After a month I adopted to everything. I worked very hard and I fulfilled everything. The following terms were different. There were ups and down, gladness and disappointments. But I can tell that these years are the best of all in my life.

   MY MASTER’S DEGREE WORK

    The title of my master's degree thesis sounds like: "Measures aimed at prevention and decrease of floor rock heaving in mine workings". I chose it not accidentally, because this theme is important for many mines, and the successful decision of this problem will allow to decrease expenses on the protection of mine workings as well as coal cost price. The supervisor of my work has been engaged in this question for many years and he is a good specialist in this drea of science.

   MY FUTURE PLANS

   I would like to be a good specialist first of all and continue my work in the scientific department of the university. Of course I’d like to make something useful for my native country and the coal industry in general. I have one dream to visit foreign countries. I want to get experience of work at foreign enterprises.
