Because this is a letter and not an essay, short and snappy should be OK. Now, I am not going to do your homework for you, but based on your info and avatar, one sentence would answer your first several points.
Hi,
I am Amanda (or whatever your name is) and I am a twelve year old animal lover who would one day like to be a veterinarian.
So, that is your letter started. Now, continue with the other items point by point, not necessarily in the order you have given them, but be sure to cover them all. And if you can unite a few of them into a single sentence, so much the better.
The only one which might take a little thought is your contribution to your family. Do you make them laugh with your crazy antics? Do you like helping your mom (doing what? why?) Are you an example to other siblings because you are so determined? efficient? neat and tidy? good-natured?
Any way, get going. This should be an easy task for you. After all, the real expert on you is YOU.
And did you mean an ineffective teacher? One who does not convey the message sufficiently so you understand?

You have all the guidance you need for this paper right there - it's practically a tick list.
There are a many dodgy bits though - I think this is too personal and an invasion of your privacy - I'm a teacher and would never set anything like this for my classes, so, be careful what you write - do you really want a teacher knowing these things about you? I wouldn't. If I were you I'd lie creatively or accept a lower grade to keep my private life private.
"What makes you tick?" this is personality profiling!!!
"yourself outside school" that is inappropriate and intrusive. In fact I find this whole paper just plain wrong. Have you spoken to your parents about this?
O.K. I know you have to do it. The bit I can help with as I know the jargon, an effective teacher gives clear and attainable learning objectives and treats you with respect as an individual and knows your educational needs. An ineffective teacher is leaves kids not knowing what they are supposed to do and doesn't folow up work done with appropriate feed back and praise.
Good Luck anyway.

I would break this paper down into several short paragraphs:
Paragraph one- Introduce yourself (name, family, friends, pets, likes, etc.)-This should be all personal info- the fun stuff about you. End with the proudest moment in your life, thus far.
Paragraph two- Connect that proud moment to what you hope
to accomplish in the future (what you want to accomplish and what you want to be). Explain WHY you have those goals.
Paragraph three- Discuss school. What do you need to get out of school and your teachers to be successful in your future goals? How do you expect this year to be a stepping stone to those goals? Be positive at the end of this paragraph. You want your teacher to know that he/she is a resource for helping you towards your future.
Don't forget to use transition words between paragraphs (first, next, finally)
Check your spelling/punctuation and indent the the beginning of each paragraph.
Good luck!

First, you are probably not horrible at writing papers. And although you think this is a stupid assignment, you can learn something from it. Did you know that the more you write the better you get? You sound intelligent to me.
Anyway, here's something you could try.
Pretend you're writing about someone else, a human being or an animal you really like or love.
For example, a good friend that you value and have fun with.
Dear Teacher (name),
It's just the beginning of the school year and I guess you want to know who the students in your class are.
So, let me tell you about "animal lover." I think I know her fairly well.
She is ? years old and is still trying to find out who she is.
That's hard because so many people think they know her and even they don't agree. I think that is part of growing up, trying to figure out who you are and what you want to do with your life. But she knows that someday she would like to do something wonderful and kind for (people, animals, society, science, the arts, etc.)
She is one of ? children, the (first, middle, last) child and does (doesn't always ) get along with her (brother/sister.)
She loves animals, all kinds. She does (doesn't) have a
(dog or cat or hamster or whatever) because (reason.)
Her (parents/guardian) really love her but, sometimes, find her to be a little ( put something here that is an issue at home, such as "messy" or "bossy" or "sleepyhead".)
But she's not lazy. She knows that her parents have a lot of work and not a lot of time. She helps out at home by doing some chores (fill in what you do here) even when she doesn't feel like doing them. That says a lot about her. She is willing.
She's (funny, introspective, thoughtful, imaginative, outgoing, friendly, whatever you like.) Her best friend thinks she's (fill in here.) Others agree.
She loves her friends because they're (funny, loyal, optimistic, helpful, share feelings, thoughs, ideas, etc.) She loves people like that. And they love her, too.
The thing she is most proud of is (fill in here.) But the most important thing about her is her concern for animals. She is devoted to (the animal planet, the work of the ASPCA, the animal shelters, (whatever you do here.) her favorite animal is (fill in here.) But she has many other favorites.
She enjoys school because she trusts some teachers.
Her ideal of a teacher is one who listens to ideas and accepts that not all students think alike, act alike, or are alike. That teacher knows individuality is what makes for an interesting world.
And the ineffective teachers she has known had something in common: they didn't listen.
It's a long school year, with a lot of hard work to do, and a lot to learn.
I think you'll like her.
Respectfully,
Your Name.

Try talking it out, then add a little humor. For example:
I'm the [1st / 2nd / 3rd - choose the appropriate one] -born child of [name your parents], who thought at the time that [your name] would be a good name for me. I'll get used to it. My [older/younger brother/sister] is really their favorite kid; that's okay, 'cause remaining favorite is too much pressure. We share the family pet, a dog named [name of dog], but we don't share the responsibility of having a dog. Nobody in the family remembers to feed him, so mom does because she won't let an animal die of starvation.
Although my parents would like me to be a doctor, lawyer, or Indian chief (huh?), I'm thinking more along the lines of being a [career], or a [career]. Since I don't plan to be a doctor, lawyer, or, you know, it might be difficult to acheive the accomplishments they want me to, but within my career choices, I'd like to [just say anything that would be a great accomplishment for anyone in that career]. For fun, I'd like to achieve greatness by [name any great sport-related, or music-related achievement]. --Get the idea?-- Hope it helps.

You have a really good outline to follow, so just begin to write, thinking about yourself and who you are. You know yourself best - we cannot do this for you.
Here are a few sites that will give you some ideas.
