When I write my a paper I always have to make sure I am using I and me in the right way. Many people think that it is classier to use I, and they end up getting it wrong half of the time. The best way to know which is right is to eliminate the other person in the sentence, and see what you have left.
Examples:
Cindy and I went to the store. I went to the store. (correct)
Mom gave Travis and I cookies. Mom gave I cookies. (wrong)
Mom gave me cookies. (correct)
