Undergraduate / USC personal statement - EXTERNAL INFLUENCE [3]

Tell us about an external influence (a person, an event, etc.) that affected you and how it caused you to change direction.

that is the statement and im thinking of writing about how i was going to quit orchestra because i did not like it, but his words challenged me to audition for a solo. So i decided to audition and i became the soloist. now my perspective on classical music has changed and i gained a passion for something that i would never thought i would gain.

That is what im thinking of writing my essay about...
negative or positive i would appreciate any kind of honest comments.
