I feel i was doing three important things in my life when i was hit. I was getting my master degree in Mental Health counseling and i was also learning to teach yoga as well as many other things, working four hours a week as a university counselor. All of those things stop when youre hit by a car and i have faith in the city of San Francisco and definitely, definitely having zero fatalities so that you can show the rest of the world the truth that with he need to be more compassionate and human. Thank you. Thank you very much. Next speaker. Reverend, how are you . Ill try to be quick but i need to bring the High Schoolers up front. Thank you to the supervisors.

And i lived in San Francisco for seven years and the Bike Coalition volunteer and theres a lot of emotion but one thing know that vision zero is a win.
