My name is Onyx Emelo. I go to Portland High School, and I’m participating in a photography internship program. Tim Greenway is my mentor. I’m enrolled in various extracurricular activities, including tennis, track, soccer, and A Company of Girls. I like to be active, alive. That’s why I do sports every season. My new hobbies during the lockdown are taking photos and playing guitar.
