Q. When I write a paper, what point of view should I use, first person or third person? Is seems wrong to use "I," but I am not sure.

This will depend on the type of paper you are writing and on your teacher's instructions. Research papers are usually written in the third person, but if you have been asked to write a personal essay, it may be okay to use "I." When in doubt, ask your instructor for clarification.
