“A large impact on my life? I think my grandmother. She’s made me want to be a doctor, because she was a pediatrician in the 60s in Russia, where it was very difficult to be a pediatrician, especially if you were a woman in Soviet times. I do not see her a lot. I see her every summer for a few weeks, but we talk a lot on the phone. That’s made us pretty close… I’ve learned [from her] that you choose your own path, and you can do what you say you want to do by deciding that you will make it happen. Whenever I see an obstacle, I try to not go around it, but go through it.”

Zoe Lubetkin, Managing Editor
Zoe Lubetkin is a senior and currently embarking on her third and final year on the Communicator. When she’s not writing for on staff, she enjoys walking everywhere and swimming at Barton, as well as sushi and chai lattes. She’s a competitive rock climber, and competitive in most things too — she’s an Aries. She uses Spotify, not Apple Music, and her Spotify Unwrapped was pretty truthful. This year she listened to 17 hours of Childish Gambino, whatever that means. Next year, hopefully at least one college will accept her, and she can walk to a fun French class at this college.
