I'm reaching back into my SAT writing for this.

Which of the following is correct? Are both correct?

1) When situations arose such as Mark waking up too late...

2) When situations arose such as Mark's waking up too late...

I vaguely remember something about the actor "possessing" the verb.

Doesn't matter which one is correct. Don't write like this.
