Hi Katie:
You can add, edit and format text with the Type tool (the T in the toolbox on the left). When you select text, the formatting commands appear in the Control panel at the top of the document window.
But before you go there, here's an important concept—everything in InDesign goes inside a frame (or box). There are text frames that hold text, and graphic frames that hold graphics and unassigned frames for color blocks or borders or both. I outlined what appear to be 4 empty frames in your file that are on top of the text you want to edit.
Start with the Selection tool (the black arrow at the very top of the toolbox) click inside each of these frames, and press Delete. If you end up deleting real content, just go to Edit > Undo. But 3 of these empty frames are on top of your content, so you aren't able to just click it with the Type tool and edit. Come back and ask me if you need further clarification.
