You can become a counselor still but your going to have to go to school, its not to late and since your a single mom you can get grants to pay for your college. There are a lot of programs right now that will work around your school and your child so you can get the degree you need. Go for your goal its not to late.

Probably not. You would need to get your degree to become a counselor since it deals with Psychology & Therapy.

Anything is possible, given enough effort and motivation.
As you are 10 now, you need to look into getting a GED or high-school-diploma equivalent first. Then you need to start saving for college. Apply. Explain who you are, and where you are coming from. Use your experiences to understand others.
If you still don't think you can do it, try this on for size: a friend of mine, Kelly, was addicted to meth when she was younger. She never finished high school, became a hooker, and when she was caught she agreed to rehab vs jail. She got herself cleaned up, and fought to get her GED. She went to college and is now doing social work with teens at risk.
You can do it!

sometimes you can get the proper certification needed to become a counseler through Community College. you may also want to see if u can intern or begin working for a psychologists office or counselers office if allowed.
