Family Background

My name is Ching-Ti Chen.  I am a seventeen-year-old teenager, born in Tainan City.  There are nine members in my family, including four adults and five children.  Because of the tough financial support and the low pay earned only by my mother, we five girls all have been taught to make good use of money and cherish everything since we were very young.  Father once occupied a sir in the military camp 30 years ago.  Accordingly, he is severe about our behavior, correcting our mistakes.  My mom is a career woman and I respect her very much, thinking of her as a superwoman.  She always encourages me to be more mature and be an independent person.  My elder sister studies in Department of Fashion Design in Tainan University Of Technology.  She is knowledgeable and good at art.  As I get into troubles, she will also listen to me and offer some constructive advice.  My three younger sisters bring laughter to us all the time and make the whole house filled with happiness.  My grandparents are over 70 years old; but they still healthy and usually concern about our daily life.  It’s my pleasure to own such a lovely and harmonious family.
