Just let it all out =)
You don't need a template. Just speak from the heart and your prayer will be heard, if it hasn't already been heard by the intentions in your heart.
God bless

This might sound corny but. . .
When we pray, our true intentions come straight from the heart. I'm big into silent personal prayer because I know my heart puts forth my intentions far better than anything I could come up with when trying to verbalize it.
God knows what our intentions are even when we have trouble finding the words for them. I think this is because our intentions stem more from "feeling" than they do "thought/language". Feelings can be difficult to describe with any semblance of literary justice.
Sit in moments of quiet contemplative prayer, offering your intentions to God as they pertain to family, friends, teachers, etc.
When inspiration "hits you", write down the words that come to you. You will most likely end up penning the prayer a piece at a time.
I hope I didn't overload you with too much "stuff".

Just talk to God the same way you talk to us. You can learn prayers and impress other people later, but for now you should try to be genuine Christian while you're still learning.

praying is just talking to God, about your desires, your fears, your problems, family etc....
it is not a ritual.
it must come from your heart.
go to a christian protestant church. ask a pastor. you will know God very differently.

Just talk to Jesus as you would to a friend.
the Our father.
the Hail Mary.
God already knows all your needs, just trust in Him.

Any Christians can help as well. They believe in the Trinity, too, you know.
