Meet Robin Skitmas, a senior at Texas State University with a major in Advertising. Skitmas is from Houston, Texas where she lived with her parents and twin sister. She says her twin and her are opposites but they are best friends. During Skitmas’ senior year of high school, she got in a terrible car accident that left all the bones in her face broken except her jaw. During this time, she spent a lot of time at home to recover, growing very close with her sister and dog, Tootsie. She says that it was pretty tough having to come back to school after that. She missed her senior prom and two weeks of school. Skitmas is still having doctor’s appointments for her face recovery even 4 years later. Skitmas’ determination has caused her to push herself in her classes and to move on from her accident. Although she has only traveled outside of the country once, she is passionate about one day exploring the streets of Europe. She is not one to live in her past, as she says she does not want to go back to Houston after graduation but rather move to St. Thomas Virgin Islands for a few years and sightsee the area. Robin went to St. Thomas once before and fell in love with it, while making friends there that she still keeps in contact with. Her story is nowhere near finished and she hopes to live her life to the fullest.
