How do you organize a personal statement like this?

Question

I want to write an essay on my life, but my difficulties with the organization is giving me writer's block. I want to prove that I am currently in the best place now by using my past ideologies. I also want to add analysis onto my essays, but I have so much analysis that offers insight into my current ideology that it only makes sense to make an analysis paragraph for each ideology. So far, I am thinking:

1st paragraph: intro

2nd: ideology #1

3rd: analysis of ideology #1

4th: ideology #2

5th: analysis of ideology #2 / ideology #3 (because I feel like I'll be saying the same stuff if I split it up, but I'm worried about this paragraph the most)

6th: analysis of ideology #3 / where I am now... (So it ties back the most to the thesis, but won't this ruin parallel structure, or do I need it in this type of essay?)

7th: conclusion

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
