I don’t think I’d make it the focus of your essays, especially if you already have a good common app essay. It’s important that it’s explained but I don’t think it needs to be the main theme of your application. You still want them to get a sense of who you are. If you can’t fit it in anywhere, maybe use the “additional information” section of the common app. That is a place you can explain things you haven’t explained anywhere else. And, like I said, I’d ask your counselor to address it in their letter.
