Description
I had my very last GCSE exam yesterday, and so i decided to throw away all the stuff I will no longer need! I thought I'd take a photo to remind me of all the "hard work" I've put in over the last 2 years. This is only actually a small fraction of the stuff I had to throw away.The quality of the photo is awful, but I have a rubbish camera that's about 500 years old, so it's not my fault! I tried to improve it the best I could.
Edit...
I can't decide if throwing it all away is satisfying or not. Part of me is delighted that i will never again have to think about the Battle of Dunkirk, The Train from Rhodesia, or how much MgO is produced when magnesium is burned with 1.7 litres of oxygen. But it's also strangely unsatisfying to see that everything i have worked for over the last 2 years can be thrown away in an instant.

thats rubbish! lol
It doesnt matter what camera you have, what matters is that you use it for the right reasons.....it doesnt matter what the subject is either...what matters is you capture moments that mean a lot to you! Which you have done here!
To others, this may be just a bin with paper in it....to you its the results of your life so far, and as such it is brilliant!
A brave submission, but the explanation is key here, well done, and good luck with the results!
(hopefully after the results you can get a job to be able to afford a nice shiney new camera! lol)

Wow, thank you so much! I really appreciate the comment, it makes me actually like this photo slightly. And yeah, a nice new shiney camera would be great! Better start looking for part-time jobs.... yay!

Well I think you should like it for sure.....you see, having heard your description, to me, its kind of happy, and sad.....sad because it marks the end of one part of your life, and happy because it marks the start of another......kind of cool i reckon!
Good luck saving for that cam!
