You’re not being selfish by striving to get the best education your circumstances can afford you. If that means that somewhere along the way you got derailed due to an uncontrollable or adverse situation, you are well served to freshly reapply yourself. My advice, and what I did in my application, is to clearly specify your “perseverance” and how that correlates to your academic goals. In other words, try to convey a duality, both through your previous burdens and fresh, positive academic outlook.
