Bad personal statement?

My common app personal statement is about how I faced having to break off a friendship and how from that I grew emotionally and personally through the metaphor of a huge, conflicting musical duet I did with the same person.

This is answering the prompt: Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others.

I don’t think any prompt is bad, but it seems like most everyone has essays that are more distinctly related to their identity and who they are as a person while mine is more about a single event?

Any thoughts?
