Personal statement too much like "why major" essay

Application Question

I'm very proud of my personal statement, but in the latter half of the essay I allude to why I love history (which is also my chosen major). I'm now realizing this was not the best move as I have to write "why major" essays. There's probably new information about that interest that I could write but I'm worried it'd still seem repetitive. Could focusing my "why major" essays on why I want to study it at that particular college save me or am I doomed?
