Yea, this is definitely a story. I made the same mistake as you, and I pretty much had to start from scratch after showing it to one of the teachers that helped with personal statements. You need to reflect on how this story has affected you way more than actually telling it. What you learned from it, how it changed you, etc…
Good news is you have like a 5 month head start so definitely take your time, use help at your school, and read sample essays and see how they talk about themselves rather than describing an event.
