She had recently arrived in Northern Virginia from her native Sudan and needed to go from her apartment to the grocery store.But the 18-year-old spoke no English.When she climbed onto the bus, she tried to ask the driver if she was on the correct route. But Samar froze, struggling to recall the words she had practiced the night before. When she noticed two passengers mocking her inability to communicate, she quickly took a seat. It was the wrong route, and she got lost.This was not the American arrival that Samar anticipated. At 17, she was submitted by a relative for the Green Card Lottery.

So, when Samar was selected, her father encouraged her.“He believed I could do big things,” Samar recently told me.The bus ...
