Hi friend.. Is very common that english learners blend the verb "to be". In spanish there are two different meanings for the same verb that is "SER" y "ESTAR". Is not the same to say "Yo SOY un buen niño porque hago mis tareas" ("I'm a good boy because I do my homework"), than: "Yo ESTOY en Costa Rica" ("I'm in Costa Rica"). Despite we use the same verb "I'm" in the first sentence you're referring to a behavior and in the second case you're referring to an status of someone or something.

In conclusion, when you want to express a behavior, attribute or shortcoming of someone or something, you must use "SER", eg.
- El niño es bueno (boy is good)
- El carro es veloz (car is fast)
- El perro es feroz (dog is ferocious)

In the other hand, when you want to express the status of someone or something, you must use "ESTAR" eg:
- El niño está enfermo (boy is ill)
- El carro está dañado (car is broken)
- El perro está durmiendo (dog is asleep).

Any question... let me know.. By the way if I have some mistakes in my english explanation, also let me know.
