It's not being a bad counselor. In fact, having self-awareness like you do is what makes a strong counselor. Also, you might surprise yourself with how much you can actually put aside your own past to help others with similar situations that you grew up with. So i say go for it!

I am going to get my doctorate in social work partly due to his inspiration. I want to convey to others that they can reach their highest goals and think that teaching and research to MSW and BSW students will help me to do this. We studied him in school.

Most of us don't have that degree of rough life but we can't keep going all the time. If he can do what he did, why is it that we give up so easily?

I know from having had a tough childhood that I am not sure if I could really be of use to anyone because so much of my stuff would come up hearing kids talk about their own family situations and school problems. I'd like to get a BSW but am not sure what it would be like to be a counselor.
