Assimilating in America is very hard for many immigrants. Immigrants have to learn their way around the new country they call home. Belen learned to use the transportation in New York to travel to work, home, and other places. For Belen it was difficult to get used to getting on the bus and learning her way around a country she knew nothing about.
