Incomplete question: As written, your statement does not ask a clear question. Your expected final height based on your parents would be 5'10.75 +/- 1 inch. At the age of 20, your growth centers are likely closed and you are as tall as you will ever be. A single x-ray of your wrist/hand could verify any growth potential.
