Rey wouldn't judge someone on their lack of education. She barely had one herself. It wasn't like there was a school on Jakku for her to go to. No, she had to learn how to read on her own, and learned different languages to make herself more useful. Better to acquire as many skills as possible to one able to perform more duties. More skills meant a better chance of survival.

"I wouldn't know what's considered a formal education in my world. I don't think there is one on Jakku--the planet I'm from." Yes, planet. As in a whole other world with the notion that there were other worlds, or planets with them.

Little by little, they were finding out they had more in common than initially thought. Both of them knowing very few people on this rock, and lacking a formal education. And unknowingly, both of them having and understanding of what hardship truly meant.

"Little of both. There are things that happen here that are frustrating, and things that are good. An almost-counter balance to the bad." Rey moved to set the box down back to where it initially came from, and silently thought about how best to go about that subject.

"It's a desert, but there are other planets that have different climates, but Jakku is a desert planet. More like a junkyard, really. Old star ships that aren't in use, or waiting for the right price to be sold. A place of people trying to do what they can to get by." Best to start with ships and then slowly ease into computers.
