When they said "direction", do they mean

Agreed – the topic you describe sounds perfectly within the scope of the prompt. They didn’t say “career direction,” and at your age it’s kind of unlikely that you’d have had a meaningful change in career direction. A change in perspective, values, or goals – any of these (and more) could be a change in direction. I think the prompt also implies a question about how your future behavior will be substantially different from your past behavior as a result of your pivotal experience.
