If you can avoid it, try not to change the P.O.V. (point of view) of the story. First, from a readers perspective it gets very confusing to keep track of who "I" or "me" refers to. If you stick to one person telling the story, your reader won't get distracted with trying to remember who is talking. Secondly, life doesn't change P.O.V. constantly, so why should your story? Remember - the key is realism. If it doesn't or wouldn't happen in real life, don't do it in your story. I know that in some story scenarios it makes it so much easier as a writer to just change P.O.V.s, but challenge yourself to find a way keep it all the same.
Also, try to keep your stories in the third person perspective. It makes more sense for a reader to hear it from someone else, instead of the author directly. If it didn't actually happen to you personally, then lets write the story like it's happening to someone else instead. A third party. Call her Susie. Whatever you want. Just don't tell me a story about "you" when it wasn't actually "you" that it happened to. You be the writer and let someone else have the adventure. Trust me, it's more fun that way anyway.
