Mark Ontolan, reporter

My name is Mark. I’m a freshman, and I live in Waikiki. I moved to Hawaii from the Philippines when I was in sixth grade. My favorite sport is football because I love running and catching the ball, and it gets your body in good shape. I love to eat because the food is delicious and it’s good to be full. I use my computer a lot during the weekends because that’s the only time I get to do whatever I want. I play games or search about things that interest me. Every time I get home, the first thing I do is my homework then I do my chores. After I do all that, I’m free to do whatever I like. I love listening to music because it makes me happy and relaxed. The genres of music I like are rap and chill songs.
