When I meditate I am always sitting and at first I observe my attention wandering away from my chosen here-and-now object of meditation. I can control my own mind, remembering an irrelevant thing is failing to remember that I am supposed to be meditating. Please tell me what to do; I am not doing this right?

When you fell like this do not lose your composure, remain steady in it, neither trying to perpetuate it or intensify it, nor trying to escape it or attenuate it. We all get these two opposite tendencies common in such circumstances. Just sit comfortably, check your posture often, eyes open without staring, watching breath naturally go in and especially out of nostrils, keep returning to breath come what may, watching thoughts run through your mind without getting caught up in any of them, letting them wind down, watching them gradually disappear, experience the resulting inner tranquility, don't push it or lose it.
