  10. By Holden T.

    In the pumpkin project I learned that doing drugs is bad because it will cause problems in the future. It can cause problems like cancer putting you on full life support or can cause death. I learned more about drugs by doing research for my project.

    The thing that was most fun was when my grandma helped me. My grandma helped me make Bob the pumpkin’s cigarette. What was also fun was when my grandma helped me give Bob the pumpkin eye bags.

    One of the most difficult thing’s was choosing the right pumpkin. The most difficult thing was making the cigarette and its filter because I had to mix together a lot of colors to get the right color.


    The motto of my pumpkin was “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Drug Users Don’t Go Far”.
    My motto means if you do drugs you won’t go far in life.

    What I know about drugs is that they are bad and sometimes they can make people go wacko.

    I want to learn why people like drugs.

    I will learn this by asking someone.

    The most fun part was picking out the pumpkin.

    The most difficult part was writing the message on the pumpkin.

    The easiest part was picking out the pumpkin.

    On my pumpkin I put “Jesus gets you higher”. I wrote this on my pumpkin because I love Jesus not drugs. Jesus gets you to Heaven. Drugs get you into bad situations.

    I’m going to stay away from drugs. I’m also going to trust in Jesus because He is my number one priority.
