A New Personal Statement?

I have a question. I had applied last year through AMCAS and I am going to apply again this year. I was wondering if med schools are going to look at my personal statement of last year's because I did not do that well on it, e.g., I wrote about how I was not motivated before but an incident changed my life to become motivated. However, people have told me that you should not have written this because med schools don't like wavering attitudes. Anyhow, this time, I am only going to write about my motivation. Is that going to create any problems?

med schools want to honestly know why you want to be a doctor. if you were honest about it in your previous PS and showed that even though in the beginning you werent sure, but in the end you were definitely sure...then you were fine.

your new PS should not be the same PS but maybe you should include some things about why this year is any different than last year? how come you didnt give up?
good luck.
