Answers:
women usually stop growing at age 18, so you have at least 3 years of growing.
it's good that you have taller genes from your dad, but you could of inherited your mom's short genes and stay your current height.
in my case, I'm 5'6. my mom is 5'2 and my dad is 5'11-6'0.
my mom is the shortest on her side of the family-she has two sisters that are 5'8 and 5'10.
so, genetics can be tricky and unpredictable.
i wouldn't count on 6 inches in two years, but you never know!!
good luck!
