    Je m'appelle (or Mon nom est) Sheldon Leonard et je suis né(e) le dix août en mille neuf cent quatre-vingts seize, donc j'ai quinze et quart ans.

    Literally that means: I am called (my name is) Sheldon Leonard and I was born on the tenth of August in 1996, therefore I am 15 and a quarter years old.

    Hope I helped

    Quinze ans et quart. Also 'mon nom' usually means my surname.

    Edit : missed a spelling mistake 'quatre-vingt', and you don't need 'en' either.
