Descartes’ CogitoWhat is it that Descartes decides he cannot doubt?

Even though he had a college education, Rene Descartes was consumed with doubts not only about religion and the nature and existence of God, but also he wondered about reality itself. In his Meditations, he tells us of his resolve to doubt everything he knows until he gets to something he knows for sure. He explains what he discovers in his First Mediation.  What is that something? Do you think the reasoning he uses within the meditation is sound? Explain the steps he uses to get to his conclusion.
