Even though Sian Li has never lived in China, she grew up with two Chinese parents and a Chinese culture at home. The first language she learned was Mandarin as her mom was a stay home mom at the time. She went to Chinese school during the weekends from ages 6-12 to learned Chinese and math. During this time, she learned traditional Chinese dances as well! She has visited China for whole summers to see her extended family. She is hoping to study abroad in Asia in spring semester 2015 to experience more of the Asian culture and be closer to her extended family.
