A nice foundational textbook to start with is Michael Spivak's text "Calculus." This text is fairly conversational, it motivates its concepts well with many examples, and it will help you build a strong foundation in writing proofs and reasoning mathematically.

As others have said, it might be helpful to have a friend or two read with you so you can answer each other's questions. Also, make sure you do a ton of exercises!
