The sentence I currently have is "I am grateful to be introduced to (event), as it has significantly altered my paradigm and the way I want to live my life." The issue I have is finding a better way to say "live my life", and if "altered my paradigm" is the correct way of saying "changed my views on life". Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah "significantly altered my paradigm" is dead in the water. Get rid of it and you're pretty much there. On a side note, the be really wants to be a have been. I am grateful for having been introduced to X, as it has changed the way I want to live my life.

I always look sideways at people who use the word paradigm in everyday speech. Your suggestion is good, and the whole sentence can be shorter because affecting the way you live is implied anyway.
I am grateful to be introduced to (event), as it has significantly
changed my views on life.

Thanks for the suggestion, but is there any way I can make the sentence more impactful and memorable? I want to leave admission officers with the idea that the event I wrote about has changed my life, but want to do so in a less cliche fashion. Thank you so much for your help!

Do you mean you want more of a cliché? Has this become proof-reading now? Another suggestion: It affected my view of life profoundly.
– Weather Vane
Oct 20 '18 at 20:23
On another tack, the student in the essay may have been deeply affected by the course, but why suppose the admission officers are interested in that personal experience? I suggest you simply thank them for the influential course and not shout it from the rooftops, no matter how much it benefited one student amongst many.
