My interests are IT, molecular biology, data processing and foreign languages. I aspire to become a part of anti-aging research. Now I'm volunteer in a science lab. I want to be more helpful, but I lack enough knowledge for that, so I constantly learn. I grew up in a village garden among fields, forests and swamps. My parents deliberately did not want to give me education and tightly controlled. This was hell but I was not allowed to have choice: I was 'in debt', was blackmail by the life of grandmother and didn't have any life experience. But ultimately my grandmother died and I ran away from home, at the age of 28. I thought that I was going to die, but I survived and is living now with distant relative in Moscow. It's a beautiful city in summer, I love it, though the winter here is long and cold. Now I have a chance for another life and at last to be myself. Till recently I worked as courier and ad-sticker, at present have opportunity to concentrate on learning. It's popular to tell who believes in what. My belief is that people should not die of aging and diseases. Aging is a natural process. As natural as caries. The world will never be completely fair, but people with difficult childhood must have enough life time to to exhibit their genuine aptitudes. I am IT-specialist and microbiologist, I'm not garden worker! People in the village, including my own parents, always said that I'm idiot - no, they are idiots! Either I will achieve my goal or die trying.
