Peter and the others had to take in a lot of new information, and they had to get used to so many things that were different. An example of this was one of the first things they did, when they went to get food. They had gone from having to make and find their own food, and they never had much of it, but then they get to this huge store where there are shelves and shelves of food, all in packets. This was only one of the many changes made during the transition.
One of the large conflicts Peter faced at the begining of his journey was actually getting the start he wanted. When he was in Houston, he felt he wasn't getting what he went for. He solved this by leaving, and moving to Kansas, where he got into a school. He also managed to go to a basket ball camp, and he made new friends at a church group.
A major difficulty for him was also finding the education he came for. Many schools would not take him because of his age, he was too old for high school, yet he didn't know the basics he would need for anything higher. Finally, he managed to change his age, because it wasn't officially known. By doing this, he got into a high school where he could learn more, and also where he met new friends to help him adapt to his new life.
