Template for an About Me booklet (sent to me by @endemiccharm)

I did send a response by the way, but I could not figure out how to fold a piece of paper like that (I'm sure it's easy and I was just being kinda dumb), so instead I cut a paper into 9 rectangles and wrote a little about myself on each one.
