If your age is accurate, and you're 19, then no mate, sorry. 
Here are the corresponding chinese animals and their years:
Pig - 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007
Rat - +1 to each year above (so 1924, 1936, etc.)
Ox +2 - 1925...
Tiger +3 - 1926...
Rabbit +4 - 1927...
Dragon +5 - 1928...
Snake +6 - 1929...
Horse + 7 - 1930...
Sheep + 8 - 1931...
Monkey + 9 - 1932...
Rooster + 10 - 1933...
Dog + 11 - 1934...
Another way to count is to start from your birthyear (i.e. 1981, mine), and count back 12 years repeatedly until you get one that matches the numbers I posted above.
1981 - (12x4=48) = 1933 - year of the rooster

The meanings behind the animals:
Pig - these people are fascinated with the arts. Though unlike others with the same inclination, they are the type who'd rather opt to work behind the scenes.
Rat - typically aggressive and intelligent. With their dynamism, quick thinking, and love for fast-paced work environments, it's as if the brokerage business were created just for them.
Ox - noted for their incredible tenacity. It doesn't matter if they get bruised and wounded trying to aim for a spot as long as they get there.
Tiger - natural born rebels. They are powerful, idealistic, and innately disobedient.
Rabbit - multitaskers. They are overachievers, juggling a handful and still end up with spotless work. Typically ambitious, intelligent, talented, and artistic.
Dragon - capable of tremendous achievements - if they know how to tap their inner strengths.
Snake - primetime communicators. Cleverly perceptive, and the best ones can slither their way out of a deep bind.
Horse - people that crave for freedom. Extremely independent, thrill-seekers, and highly determined to get the job done.
Sheep - passionate about aesthetics, people of the lamb are deeply enamored with all things pretty and beautiful, possessing a highly developed eye and a definitive taste for fashion.
Monkey - primates of the zodiac pick up what's happening faster than most people can recognize it. Even during a conversation, a person born in these years usually make mental notes and store them away for future reference. Monkeys can master complex subjects without breaking a sweat.
Rooster - it takes more than a strong will and an iron fist to run a company. Like a game of chess, it takes a lot of logical polotting, resiliency, and guts to steer any business to a sensible, winning direction. Roosters, the thinkers and doers of the zodiac, possess all these traits.
Dog - Selfless, intelligent, and sensitive, Dogs take friendship to a higher level. They're loyal, honest, and caring the way other power-hungy politicians aren't. Lean on them, they won't be a disgrace.

^^you sure are...
I was born in the year of the rabbit, which means im an overachieving multitasking spotless-work delivering intelligent, ambitious, talented and creative person. The only thing that's wrong about that is the creative part and im not sure about the multitasking either...
But i compared the description for 1 of my best friends (tiger), and it's about as far off as it can be  [edit] and i think dog would fit me better...
