Who Do You Think You Are?

My Name is Ryan Gillett. I was born on September 24th, 2001 at St. Michael's Hospital in Mississauga, but I never lived there. I grew up in Georgetown, Ontario, in a detached subdivision home that my mom had bought. When I was six, we moved to Orangeville, where my aunt on my mom's side of the family lived with her family. Instead of buying a house, we bought land and built one.

Christmas, Easter, other holidays, and birthdays are often celebrated at my grandparents's (mom's side) place in Etobicoke. My grandparents, being Austrian, would make schnitzel for these celebrations. They lived in Austria until they were around 20 years old, but moved to Canada in order to make lives for themselves after the war.
