Hello,
I'm not sure how to professionally talk about this in an admissions essay.
My greatest accomplishment in my life is beating poverty and homelessness. I didn't have anyone to support me. I was able to take care of myself. I was homeless in High School and college. I've been told that is says a lot about my character.
I think it is a very important part of my profile that AdComs should know about.
Any advice?

You will need to find the right opportunity within your application package. You do not want to just jam it in a place within the application that does not make sense. It must feel authentic. Many schools may give you the opportunity to weave this into your application narrative but if they do not you do not want to artificially include. If you make it to the interview stage you for sure will have an easy way to include when asked the question - "tell me about yourself"

Congratulations dearest..
It truly is a big accomplishment. It is also a very potent voice about your character, but I suppose you know this yourself, the answers will define HOW you fit it in. You will either have to do a lot of research yourself, or engage a good application editor.
A lot depends on the schools we will be applying to and the essay questions at hand.
