Is this an essay "no no?"

All my life, I wanted to be a veterinarian but a year ago, after joining my town’s emergency squad, I changed my mind and now am determined to become a nurse. Should I tell colleges this? For instance, am I allowed to say that I was dead set on being a vet and never considered a career in nursing until a year ago or is this too much information? I’m afraid that if I say something like that, the readers will think ‘Well if she can change her mind once, what’s stopping her from changing it again.’ Any help is greatly appreciated!
