A student is writing a narrative about his initial experience on a college campus. Read this part of the narrative and complete the task that follows. My first visit to the college occurred last March during my spring break. I was initially captivated by the beauty of the campus itself: a lush, green canopy of trees framing the arrangement of stately old buildings in the original quad, crisscrossed with a network of red brick walkways. The stroll from north to south gave me a great sense of traveling through time, from the university's beginnings over 200 years ago through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with the gradual shift to a more open and modern setting somehow remaining in harmony with the older sections of the campus.

As I wandered, I tried to imagine the many prominent alumni walking the path as students here; not as stiffly posed icons in photographs from history books, but as young adults not much older than myself, full of life and experiencing, much the same as I will soon, their first steps outside of their family and home environment. I could almost feel their excitement and wonder as they set forth to discover and test their limits in a world changing so quickly. I said to myself: “What dreams and doubts occupied their hearts as they passed the hours and days here?” I envisioned them sitting on the grass, staring at the sky, forming ideas that would later spark inventions and intellectual movements. I imagined myself sitting among them, striving as they must have to define myself and my own true goals.

Returning to the present, I realized my heart felt at home. A part of me had already lived the dream of walking in the footsteps of all those great thinkers, writers, artists, and scientists whose names endure, etched in stone and engraved on plaques, to remind present students of their legacy. I thought to myself: “Even the air seems to inspire greatness here.” I knew that was the influence I was seeking.

TASK: Write an introduction to the narrative section that introduces the narrator and establishes the tone.
