I'd add: don't spend time explaining your circumstances. If anyone asks, just say you worked for a few years after high school. Don't lie, but if you start out explaining your "journey", the undergrads' antenna go up and they tend to get spooked. You're obviously older; all you have to say is I worked after high school then went to junior college. That makes you a normal guy and not something they don't understand or identify with.
