| 摘要： | When Rifat Salim came to the United States from Pakistan as a young girl with her mother and siblings to reunite with her father after years of being a part, one of the first places he suggested they visit is Coney Island, a famous beach and amusement park destination in Brooklyn, New York City that's visited by more than 5 million people annually. She said, "Me and my brother and sisters were excited to go to the beach. We were wearing our ethnic clothes because we don't wear bikinis. When we got there, we ran towards the beach and put our feet in the cold water. I remember to this day the feeling of water and sand slipping away from my feet. It was a wonderful experience." Coney Island was Salim's first impression of America and would continue to play a role in her life. After getting her citizenship, she became an engineer and now works for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District, an agency that's helped to preserve this beach for future generations, including her own children. |
