"Describe your family and pets."

My immediate family consists of my mom, dad, and "little" sis Stefanie. Stef is two years younger than me and is a junior in high school, but she's half an inch taller than I am. My mom and dad were born and raised in China and Hong Kong, respectively, but attended college in the US. My mom's parents also live very close to us, so I spend a lot of time with them.
