Identity whether the following paragraph is a narrative, persuasive, descriptive, or expository paragraph.

I remember when I first arrived in the United States. Even before the plane landed, the little windows in the airplane
revealed snow and ice-covered houses and buildings. As I walked off the plane, cold air crept though the corrugated
ramp that led to the airport terminal. Some people inside the airport were wearing big coats and hats, which I had seen
on television, but never up close. I felt a little dizzy and needed to sit down, and then my cell phone rang. It was my
Aunt Sophia. She was waiting for me outside in the passenger pick-up area, so I walked quickly to the exit, forgetting
all about my luggage. When the sliding glass door opened to the outside, there was my aunt a woman I hadn't seen in
over ten years wearing a parka and waving her arms frantically in my direction.

Answer:

Narrative.

Step-by-step explanation:

This paragraph is written in a first-person point of view. They're describing their personal experience, telling a story.

Therefore I believe this paragraph is narrative, although I can see interpretations where it would be considered a descriptive paragraph.
