🔹 Step 2: Fill Out the First Form (Green Box) – Barack Obama

Given Information:

- Age: As of today (2024), he is 62 years old (2024 - 1961 = 63; but since his birthday is in August, if current date is before August, he is 62). Let's use 62 for now.
- HT: 6'02" → 6'02"
- WT: 165 lb. → 165
- EYES: Brown → Brown

- PHONE: (202) 456-1414 → Format: (___) ___-____ → (202) 456-1414

Given Information:

🔹 Step 4: Third Form (Purple Box) – Your Own Information

This form says:
> "Now fill out this form with your own information. What is YOUR name, when were YOU born, where do YOU live, etc.?"

👉 This is not to be filled by the teacher or AI — it’s for the student to complete personally.

So, you (the learner) should write:
- Your full name (Last, First, Middle)
- Your DOB in MM/DD/YYYY format
- Your age
- Height and weight (in feet/inches and pounds)
- Eye and hair color
- Your home address (street, apartment if any, city, state, zip)
- Phone number
- Your occupation (e.g., student, teacher, etc.)

Example (fictional):
```
NAME: Smith John Michael
DOB: 05/15/2000 AGE: 24
HT: 5'10" WT: 150 EYES: Brown HAIR: Brown
ADDRESS: 123 Main St.
Apt: 4B
