Hi Bowler! 
Go to Lesson 1.11 here on this site and you will learn all about Ser and Estar and how they are used.
Also, here is a review lesson: Ser vs Estar

I suggest you check out the links above, but if you need a basic idea, estoy is used for something that is temporary (ex. I am sick: estoy enferma); soy is used for a permanent or a description that identifies the person (ex. I am a professor: soy una porfesora)
hope this helps!
