Prath eating a magical burrito from our favorite restaurant: Taqueria El Rey.
At 7:45 my alarm goes off. I reach for my phone and open up my Simple Habit app to set my 5-minute meditation. Today it’s “Cognitive Reframing and Resilience.” I finish my meditation, make myself eggs with vegetables, get dressed, and head downstairs at around 9 to meet Prath. We walk 5 minutes to our Mogo station, bike for 20 minutes—past highways, neighborhoods, and an abandoned train station-- until we eventually arrive at work.
Prath and I sit down, set up our music, review emails, and set a plan for the day. Today, it’s working through expanding the resources page for entrepreneurs on the ProsperUS website, interviewing and photographing an entrepreneur for our Storytelling project, and then transcribing and editing the post for our storytelling project that we’ll later post on the ProsperUS Facebook page and website. In the afternoon, we’ll head to the learning lab where we’ll be teaching adults (who haven’t yet graduated high school) lessons to help them pass their GED. Oh, and Prath and I will be going to our favorite local Mexican place, Taqueria El Ray, with the best smoked chicken I’ve ever had.
After work, Prath and I start our 20-minute bike journey home. As we bike we pass a casino, a broken down neighborhood, we ride on bumpy and newly renovated streets, and cross over a highway. We return to Wayne State where I change, walk to the gym, exercise, and then return home to make myself dinner. My roommates and I promptly begin to watch our show, Master of None, and then fall asleep. A day in the life of Ali Frank has been complete.
