Stereotype Poem

Joshua Iosefo a prefect at Mt Roskill Grammar had to deliver a speech to the school. Instead of a speech he wrote a poem titled “ Brown Brother.” His friend Rashad posted it on youtube where it came to the attention of Campbell live, who presented it on national television.

The message Joshua was trying to convey to us, is all about stereotypes. Don’t limit yourself from what other people think. Don’t be afraid to change yourself. Champions never give up is known as the message too. Even if not even one of your family has graduated from school, you can be the first.

Our response to his poem is that, stereotype isn't real no matter how many people believes in it. I think that the pathway to making your dreams come true is the three D’s, known as Determination, Dedication and Desire.
