Sounds like an ok structure - though the issue isn't whether you talk about college or your gap year - the important thing is talking about your interest and experience related to your subject.
You should look to spend around 50% of your personal statement talking about the course, why you want to do it and why you're a good candidate for it. stuff like gap years and extra extracurriculars isn't as important.
Hope that helps - Out of interest what did you apply for last year and and at which universities?
