MISSION: The Future Is Mine

Can I just brag about Pittsburgh for a minute?

I can?

Great.

Pittsburgh. Is. Awesome.

And so are our kids.

One of the Secret Agent L Project’s Affiliated Agents (Affiliated Agent LA) works with students in one of our local school districts. She’s a force, let me tell you. She cares about our kids so much, and she’s determined to make a difference in their lives so that they can go and make a difference in the lives of others.

Affiliated Agent LA works with a project called The Future is Mine.  The Future Is Mine (TFIM) is the Consortium for Public Education’s initiative that reaches into high schools, middle schools and elementary schools to connect students to authentic career awareness experiences.  The Consortium is a unique third-party convener, broker and catalyst dedicated to making a difference in the lives of all children and their communities.

Recently, Affiliated Agent LA had her students participate in an impromptu Secret Agent L mission. Here’s what she had to say:

I think that teaching the students to find their passion definitely involves them seeing themselves as a part of a community and seeking connections with others.

At a recent The Future is Mine Meeting, my students met up with their peers from Clairton HS to plan the workshop. I had them do an impromptu SAL at Dave & Buster’s in the Waterfront with some Play Doh and card-making materials. The kids were really excited to get involved and even used their winning tickets from their game play to purchase items that they planned to use in a future SAL mission! Our lunch date meeting took place on March 10th.

I am so proud of these students and thrilled that Affiliated Agent LA has begun to incorporate the importance of giving, community, and kindness into the TFIM experience.

These amazing kids?

They will change our world.  For the better.

  • This is super awesome. I love it. AND you.

    <3

  • Oh hey, this is pretty awesome. =D

    I don’t know you at all, but you seem like a pretty wonderful person.

  • The light that you see in others is seen in you more than you could ever imagine. You are changing the world through each life that you touch and the world is so blessed to have you. Keep making a difference, don’t allow discouragement to come against you. There are such great things planned for your life! Keep pressing on! You’re amazing!!!

  • Sending you lots of love. Keep shining! :-)

  • Thank you for all of the goodness that you put out into the world! Wonderful!

  • They may change the world but you have changed theirs!

  • It was absolutely splendid getting to know you this weekend. Your heart is so big I feared it might burst while crashing at your place this week during my journey across the country. You filled me with such inspiration that I cannot wait to bomb the hell out of this country with anonymous kindness. Best. MAD.

  • Laura –

    I have been so blessed in knowing you, and am so thankful that you’ve been dropped into my life in the way that you have. You have been such a friend to me, simply in being a reminder that sometimes life is hard, but that we must keep pressing on and doing what we do with full hearts. I love you for that. I will be praying for you and thinking of you lots – you know this. Please always remember to give weight to the woman that other people see you as, and hold onto the fact that you are resilient & incredibly valuable. Both simply because of who you are, and then doubly so because of what you do. Thank you for continually giving of yourself – and not giving up or choosing the easy or convenient thing.

    You are exactly who we all aspire to be.

    And you are so loved.

  • Keep up the great work, Secret Agent L! Your minions are making this crazy world a happier and better place, and you inspire so many of us to remain optimistic.

  • Hey Laura, remember that first time we talked, a year or two ago? On the phone? For like two hours? Because we had found in each other another person who gave their heart to lead a team of people who not only care, but ACT?

    I still cherish that memory, and I cherish you. You give me hope and inspiration that I can go on doing the things I do, even when they’re hard. I know that you get it, and you understand the work through the personal pain. And that lifts me up. I thank you so much for it.

    And one summer day, you and I will sit on that front porch, on those rocking chairs, with a glass of lemonade, and talk about the state of service in the world.

    And rest.

    Much love, girl. Call anytime.

    Me.

  • Wow Laura! I am so very inspired by what you are doing. What an amazing person you are – the world needs more people like you!

    Looking forward to reading more on this site. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Cheers,

  • wow, you are amazing! your mission work has inspired to do some good in the world!
    thank you for being here! xoxo

  • You are such an inspiration Laura! Blessings to you as you continue this beautiful healing work in the world!

  • Living your purpose is not always the easy path, but you are doing what your soul came here to fulfill! You seem like a person I would like to have in my life – I admire your action and integrity.

  • You do so much for so many and spread such goodness! I am in awe of you and on days when I feel the lowest and think that mankind has lost all sense of right, all I need to do is view your blog and my faith in the human spirit is renewed! You ROCK and I thank you for all that you do!!!!

  • Hi Laura,
    Just stopping by to say…I am sorry you are struggling right now and I pray for peace to wash over you like a warm blanket today.

    In His Grip,

    April

  • Even at times when you are weary in mind, body, and spirit, please remember that you are valued, appreciated, and loved! Praying that God rains down “smooches on your head” and surrounds you with His peace and abundant love. :)

  • Hey Laura, I want to thank you for all that you do for others and tell you to also remember to take the time and energy for yourself as well. You are so giving of yourself and I’m sure you never expected anything in return. You deserve a world of happiness always and we know it! God Bless,

    Linda

  • Wow. I just spent an hour going through your blog and marveling and the acts of kindness and cheer you bring into the world. You are awesome. Nothing else for it. Keep smiling!

  • Oh my gosh! I’ve been reading some of your posts. What an inspiration you are!! I love your random acts of kindness. I am always looking for ways to “pay it forward”, Thank you for being you!!

    • I love seeing new people’s reactions when they first meet you and see all the amazing things you do. :)

  • So, a little birdy told me that you’re going through some stuff right now. Please know that you’re a strong, beautiful woman capable of anything and no matter what it is you’re dealing with, you have a strong support system surrounding you. Remember that this, too, shall pass. It’s not what we deal with that makes us who we are, it’s how we deal with it that defines us. Come shining through with bright colors, Laura. We’re with you!!

  • You are doing amazing things! I’m sure you are impacting so many lives for the better. Keep encouraging others. I find that it can be the best way to continue to encourage ourselves. =) You are truly a special person.

  • oh hey you’re pretty much amazing. i’m so thankful for all you do.

    keep on rocking!

  • It is all too easy to feel unappreciated and lose sight of the small things we do that affect even one person and change their lives forever. Especially if we aren’t aware, necessarily that we have even made a difference. Believe in yourself and know that you are going great things for so many and it is duplicating out there. You make such a difference to so many and we all need to be reminded of that sometimes. Your greatness does not go unnoticed and Thank You for all you do for so many. Keeping a great attitude and helping others and giving what you can of yourself will get you through any and all challenges you may face. Thank you and keep it going! : )

  • The world is such a better place because of all that you bring to it, and to those around you!

  • Laura,

    You’re a force. Keep up all the good energy. Thinking good thoughts for you!

    Kaleigh

  • I have a chronic illness that keeps me cooped up and unable to get out and DO things. But people like you have inspired me to reach out and do whatever I can from right here in my own home. The possibilities are endless. Thank you for all the good that you do.

  • Thank you for helping others make a difference. God bless you.
    Nancy T.

  • Laura, I just want to say thank you for so tirelessly giving of yourself. You have your own “stuff” that you are dealing with, and yet, you put that aside and keep giving to others. It leads to healing, and I think you already know that. I wish you energy, love, strength and peace.
    Joanne

  • This is absolutely just awesome. I am a new reader and really loved this post. You are a blessing. Have a great day.

  • Laura,

    I think all that you do for others is so amazing. Your strength and kindness really are an inspiration for others!

    Please remember to take a little time for you now and then – just to breathe!

    Much love xxx

  • So I hear you’re awesome. :]
    God bless you!

  • I just found you and I think you are awesome and inspiring!

    Hugs,

    Rita

  • Agent L,

    I just wanted to let you know that I know how tiring and energy consuming it can be to motivate people. But in the end it’s so worth it! I coordinate a large amount of volunteers for a small non profit organization and some days it is really tough work. I’m sure hundreds or even thousands of people have benefitted from your time and enthusiasm though and are grateful to you for it.

    S

  • You are fantastic and people love you. Never forget that :)

  • [...] Please join me in telling Laura what an inspiring and amazing woman she is! You can leave a comment for her on her last post: http://www.secretagentl.com/missions/mission-the-future-is-mine/ [...]

  • Secret Agent L – thank you so very much for your mission!

    I believe that a drop of kindness is like a drop of water in a still pool – that little drop may dissolve into the pool, but it sends out ever-expanding ripples.

    While we never know all the different ripples that will result from one tiny act of kindness, it’s enough to know that they DO exist, in lovely and surprising ways, and that one little bit of love or kindness has ongoing and profound effects.

    You ARE changing the world, and doing INCREDIBLY important work. Thank you.

    Sending love & light to help you stay strong & positive,
    xoxo, c

  • Keep doing what you do to be that shining light in the world for others – so just keep being you!

  • Laura,
    I do not know you personally… but I know of what you have done.
    You have brightened my world and the world of many others.
    You make this world a better place just by existing, and your strength and resilience is awe inspiring.

    Keep being amazing, and don’t be afraid to lean on your friends. We all need someone to lean on, sometimes.

    Peace, love and Hope.
    Katie

  • Thank you for all the wonderful things you do. When I say you are an inspiration I really mean it. It gives me hope for the world as well as myself to know of people like yourself.

    hugs Clare

    inspired by you,

    Keep up the wonderful work
    All my love

  • You are such an incredible person, doing what you do and just being the compassionate person I can see on my end. Very few people do I see ‘changing the world’ and actually doing so, you are one of the few. Too many people say the want to be the change and they have many ideas and then never put them into action or the plan is more for their benefit than others. I am so happy to have found your mission, you, this blog to see that there are still wonderful people, especially women, making a difference in this world. The littlest thing like a note of love or kindness can change someone’s day, week, or whole life around; knowing there are still considerate, caring people out there wanting to bring sunshine into the world. Thank you for having such a big heart and letting the love from it spill out onto the canvas of your community and into others’ lives. Thank you for being open and sharing what you do with the world, letting others know that there are still random acts of kindness going on and we are not a selfish, torn, un-kind society. You are deeply cared for, appreciated, and loved. Don’t ever stop with your RAK, you are truly an inspiration.

    LOVE.

  • Just to say that you are awesome! xxx

  • The world can be a difficult place, and it’s frequently exhausting, trying to make it a little bit better. Take care of yourself and don’t forget to extend all your kindness and compassion toward yourself sometimes. Because what you do is remarkable. Every little positive change creates bigger, better changes. You’re doing wonderful things for people! Thank you!

  • Hey, I don’t know you personally but I am utterly amazed by you and what you’re doing here – you are truly make the world a better place, and you have inspired me to incorporate random acts of kindness into my daily life.

    Thank you.

    Kat

  • Laura,

    You’re doing amazing work, it’s very inspiring. Sending you love and light and hoping that the world will take care of you in those difficult times, as you have done for many.

    Best,

    James

  • Hi,

    I have heard so many good things about you and all the good things you do for everyone.

    Please know that it does not go unnoticed and may be a life changing event for any of those you encounter.

    I hear you are going through a difficult time, like so many of us do. I would have to say that is part of life and really, what would our lives be if we never had struggles and things to overcome?

    Know that you have many, many people sending you blessings and strength to get you through whatever is now on your plate.

    Sheri

  • Thank you for making a difference in so many people’s lives! The world should be so lucky to have more people like you.

  • L, Thank you so much for everything you are doing. It is indeed SO inspiring to see how one person can affect a few, who affects a few more, and voila we as a mass are changing the world for the better!
    Love, Emma

  • You are amazing!!! I believe in what comes around goes around, so all this wonderful good you are doing for others will come around when you need them for hugs, and inspiration.

  • YOU change the world for the better. :)

  • Dear Laura,

    You are amazing,

    sincerely, a stranger

  • The world would be a better place if there were more secret agents! It takes just a click to a news site to see that the world is getting a little darker these days. But the beauty in a darker world is that lights — lights like YOU — shine even brighter than they did before. Keep up the good work and fight the good fight. May you find peace and grace, at just the time you need it. Thank you for making an impact on the world!

  • Wow.
    I’m stunned by how beautiful and inspiring you are.
    It’s a great thing that you make the world a better place. You’re an AMAZING person.
    Much love, Lola

  • You ROCK, Agent L! Thanks for all that you do! :)

  • Laura -

    What you do, and have inspired so many others to do, is amazing beyond words! You are doing so much more than just showing others kindness and love. You are giving them hope. I’m so amazed by what you and your team have done! You really are a blessing to this world. Thank you for starting this and actually doing it! :-D

    God bless!

    Much Love, Jessica

    Much love.

  • I believe that God blesses those who help to bless others… So I know that great things are heading your way! Thank you for being you… an amazing woman.

  • I am in awe of everything you have done and continue to do to encourage kindness in this world. There is not enough of it. You don’t realize how much you have impacted others to be more aware of how they treat others. I appreciate it immensely and hope the same amount of kindness will befall you. I will continue to help in the effort both in my real life and online. I don’t know if you have a faith or what your belief system is. However, I am being prompted to share that your Creator loves you. He is pleased with your efforts. Hope you have a super day!

  • You’re awesome, and you’re doing amazing things! Thank you!

  • Dear Laura,

    I’m so impressed with your anonymous kindness projects! What a great way to show someone there are good people and good things in this world! You add so much light and beauty to the world, and I hope you’re given an extra dose of strength and peace as well. Thanks so much for all you do!

    Lots of love and ((((hugs)))),

  • Laura,

    You are such an inspirational person, I am sure that you have been told this many times before but I don’t think it can ever be said enough. You give so much to the people around you and spread so much love through this world, making it a better place, one step at a time.

    You are an amazingly strong person and you can make it through this difficult time with the help and support of your friends and family. I hope things improve for you soon.

    Sending love your way.

    Love, Heidi

  • I’ve been following the missions that you and other affiliated agents have been carrying out over the past year or so and to say that each story fills me with inspiration is an understatement of momentous proportions! Not only has it motivated to spread my own RAK, but I have also noticed more RAK done by others and simply smiled, knowing that this world is, indeed, full of kindness – no matter what else we may hear.
    So I thank you – for encouraging others to step out there and share the love, for sharing your own love, the love that is you. You’re amazing.
    In infinite gratitude, admiration, and kindness,
    Allie

  • Secret Agent L –
    You motivated my family and I in our RAK project at the holidays, and through that project we have spoken to so many people and shared our enthusiasm for passing on kindness. Your posts are a “home” for that spirit, and a place to come back to time and again. IT IS ALL WORTH IT. The reach of your message will outnumber the breaths you take in this lifetime.
    Be Well and Know that You Are Special!

    ~Catherine

  • you.
    rock.

    lots of love to you, you world changer, you.

  • Dear Agent L,
    You are absolutely amazing! You are an inspiration to me and many others. As someone who has followed you for almost a year now, I tend to leave notes of kindness in random places I go and on random people’s doors when I know they need a little support. I’m not an official Affiliated Agent, but I have started to do my own little projects, some very spontaneous actually.
    All of us, your followers, regardless of whether you are aware of it or not, are so proud of you for what you have accomplished with what started like a small project of 2 people! You should be very proud of yourself too! You are a very special person, who has made, directly or indirectly, many people smile and feel happier and better about themselves.
    All the best to you!
    Love and hugs,
    Carol

  • Laura, you sound like an amazing young woman. You are truly an angel among us. There are times when the giver has to become the givee, so sit back and let others come to your aid during this difficult spell. Read the poem ‘Footprints’ and find comfort in its words!! Blessings and hope.

  • Remember that all the good you see in the world is all the good you’ve put there shining back at you. You are a gift to this city and to this world.

    The world is a better place because you have lived and because of your love.

    Much love to you!

  • Laura,
    Sometimes the lover needs some love. Well done for everything that you do – your energy and passion is inspiring.

  • Laura,

    I’m sorry you’ve been going through such difficulties. Try to remember it’s always darkest before dawn, and keep your head up.

    You’re doing more than making a difference yourself; You are inspiring others to make a difference, and that’s something truly amazing people do! You’re a wonderful example for the rest of us!

    Stay strong!

    xoxo,

    So grateful to have found you.

  • Just like you are changing our world. :)
    Keep up the good work. Wishing you lots of luck and happiness.

  • You’re a secret agent of good and for that your world thanks you!!! Thanks for being so amazing and making a difference :)

  • Hi Laura!

    It’s about time I said hello – I’ve been checking into the SAL project for way over a year, keep meaning to say hey, and now seems like the perfect time to pop up and say how wonderful I think you are. I love what you do here, I love how you spur on others to do the same (myself included), I love your constant words of love, positivity and encouragement, I love how you are so nondiscriminatory in spreading love – properly amazing. Saying you’ve been such a huge inspiration to me – and others – feels like a ridiculous understatement! But I AM so inspired by you, in so many ways. Thank you for changing the way I look at the world, and live my life. Whatever’s going on with you just now, I’ll be praying for to know and feel God’s strength and peace.

    Love to you, from a sister in Scotland,

    Carolyn x

  • Hey girlie! You rock! Thank you for having a heart for young people! So many need some guidance or encouragement to achieve what they dream. Thank you

  • These kids are such an inspiration and you have planted such positive seeds into their lives! Be blessed.

  • I don’t know what you’re going through right now, however, I speak from experience when I tell you that you will make it to the other side, stronger, braver, wiser, and happier. Life is like a jigsaw puzzle and we rarely get to see the whole picture, until we’ve spent some time rummaging through the pieces. When it finally comes together and we can look at it from a distance, we can see the beauty in it. Yes, there are cracks where the pieces fit together, but only if we choose to notice them. There really IS a light at the end of the tunnel and you are NOT alone.

  • I mean, seriously, you’re like some freakin’ “kindness ninja” or “good deed assassin”!! This is mucho impressive!! Sorry you have been struggling…we all know – and most of us have felt – that sometimes it feels like life is just one massive struggle; but what makes us different is the hope we have in Christ! We see the beauty and the goodness in it all, and we can smile anyway! I hope God moves someone (or many someones!) into your life right now to prop you up when you need it most! He knows, and He sees the good you do!

    God Bless!!

  • Hi Laura,
    I was just having a conversation with a good friend last night about how hard life is and how it’s so hard to understand why. I was saying that I really believe everything happens for a reason, and I truly believe God’s plan is at work in our lives, but I just really wish I could know the reason now!!! She reminded me that’s why they call it Faith. Just have to keep believing, give it all to God, and be grateful when he comes thru in the ways we were never expecting. Hope your troubles pass quickly, and that blessings are revealed in the aftermath. Praying for you & sending love your way.

  • Just… this. Whatever may happen in your life, anything at all, however others may see you and whatever you feel about yourself, please just remember this- YOU ARE WONDERFUL.
    <3

  • You rock, Laura! I love what you’ve been doing–SAL missions especially. Keep shining and inspiring!! :D

  • You. Are. Awesome!

    We all love you Laura :)

  • Dear Laura,
    You do so much good – for everyone! I have been following your blog for a long time and you inspire me so much to do good for others – both those I know and I don’t know. Stay strong, because you bring smiles to the world!

  • Sending you my best wishes to you and your kin, you lovely person you : )

  • You are beautiful :) Know that for every act of kindness you do, there is someone sending you a blessing, a hug, an act of love. Take time for you, know that we’re all in this together – and that you are amazing, just the way you are <3

  • You are what I aspire to be! Keep up the good work! :o )

  • You are bringing so many wonderful things into this world. Thank you for sharing your light with others. And just know you are making a difference. xo

  • “The future belongs to those who believe in the power of their dreams”. . .and in the interconnectedness of the world. I am so proud of these students and so grateful to you Laura for inspiring these students to empower themselves. Every small little act of “intentional” (not “random”) kindness builds and inspires more. . .kindness is contagious! I look forward to seeing posts from the students who were involved in the TFIM conference workshop who became junior agents.

  • Just awesome!!! Children are our future and they (and people like you) are gifts from God! Thanks for sharing your gift dear, sweet, strong, smart women! From one tender heart to another…hugs and love!!! Kim

  • You’ve inspired me Laura! You’re initiating so much good in the world. Thinking of my own contribution right now…

  • Look at the smiles! You are doing important and awe inspiring work here. Thank you!

  • You are truly amazing. Thanks!

  • You’re awesome… just thought you should know

  • If more people were like you, the world would be a MUCH better place!

  • You’re so amazing! I admire your compassion and your kindness to others. I only hope I can be more like you when I get older and have to contribute to the world. Thank you for making our world a better place! Your work is not going unnnoticed :)

  • Nate has said such wonderful things about you…and I can see how many lives you are affecting!!! Keep it up. :) :)

  • Thank you for being a spectacular example of humanity! You are a kind and wonderful human being, and I hope to emulate your example! Thank you for inspiring me to carry on in my life’s path. : )

  • You know what? God delights in you.

    I’m under the impression you knew that already, though. Our Father sure shines through you…

  • How to change the world=one random act of kindness at a time!
    thank you for doing this!

  • You are making a difference. Thank you!

  • I know I’m a little late here . . . But after reading a bunch of these comments, I realized they were definitely going to the right girl, so who am I to not post a comment too? Remember that you are always loved, no matter what situation you’re in. I’m 11 years old, and often people forget that even though I am young, that doesn’t mean I don’t see greatness in people, and I can change the world too. I have pointed many of my friends to your website, and told them no matter how old they are, they can always make a difference. You HAVE made a difference Laura . . . . . and I thank you for it.

    Love and hugs,
    Ana
