Undergraduate / Princeton Supplement - Quote that changed your values or approach to the world [3]

Please help edit my essay. Please be honest, I'll take any criticism and in exchange will read you essay. THANKS!

PROMPT: Using a favorite quotation from an essay or book you have read in the last three years as a starting point, tell us about an event or experience that helped you define one of your values or changed how you approach the world. Please write the quotation at the beginning of your essay.

"The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it." -Morrie Schwartz

I finally got the chance to read Tuesdays with Morrie on my senior year of high school, and when I finished reading it, I was completely captivated by Morrie Schwartz's call to reject society's restrictive culture which dictates how men and women should act, puts money and success above love and family, and overlooks the importance of the wise elderly. Until his last breath, Morrie believed that the culture never worked. He refused to give in to the popular culture, thinking that there must be a better culture to follow; in his mind, a culture that allows people to openly express emotion, to start living their own dreams, and to accept the old for their wisdom is ideal.

Undergraduate / 'We tried out best throughout the season' - Yale Supplement [5]

I mean obviously you wanted to win, but because of your new experiences, winning wasn't as important as it was anymore.
To me, saying that "it didn't matter" makes it sound like you didn't want to win.
