"Hajimemashte" is not so much "how are you" as it is "how do you do". Not a big deal though. "Dozo yoroshiku onegaishimasu" is something along the lines of "Nice to meet you", IIRC.

'douzoyoroshiku onegaishimasu' is actually split up into three. 'Dozo yoroshiku onegaishimasu' is 'It's a pleasure to meet/see you.' edit: Darn, I'm late, eh?

You just wrote juu nen sei des which means 10th year student. You should have written koukou wa (high school) ni nen sei des. for family you should write "kazoku wa haha to (okaasan), chichi to(otousan), otouto to boku ga imasu." meaning there is my mom, dad, little brother and myself.

I'm not certain, but shouldn't it be Richmond ni sunde i masu? (u being silent) I'm not sure if you're just putting in the pronunciation of the sentences or the actual romanji though since you've got a mixture of both o.o Edit: @above, the 'watashi ha's (pronounced wa) can be omitted or replaced with 'boku ha' as you're a guy
