Public education while rewarding (in the non monetary sense) can be one of the most frustrating things ever. With the obstacles you have overcome you could be an inspiration to the students you teach at either a common public school or in a speciality setting such as the one you mentioned.
I agree with samiam it takes alot to be a teacher I had great role models in my education growing up which led me to pursue my degree in psychology and subsequent masters in counseling.
Be prepared for never having the same day twice, never knowing what kid brings to your world. It's tough but hey most of the really good things in life are.
