Interview Narrative Introduction Example Jane Doe did not have a typical college experience. When she attended college, she faced some trials which shaped her into the person she is today. Jane is a strong, confident woman, but it took her awhile to become this bold person. When Jane speaks, she exudes confidence, "I was always shy when I was younger; however, when I went to college, I really came out of my shell. I always wanted to be a lawyer, and I realized I would never achieve my goal if I was always the shy, quiet girl." As Jane reminisces about her college experience over a cup of coffee, she seems happy despite the challenges that almost kept her from achieving her dreams. Notice I discuss appearance and actions, I use a direct quote to try and capture her voice, and I tell a little about the setting of the interview. I also let the reader know I am going to discuss the challenges that Jane faced. From here I would go on into the body paragraphs and discuss those coming of age experiences
