Essays always have a variety of components (the bits and peices of experience/fact/reference/commentary with which they are constructed).
They also have a structure (the shape they impose on the experience)
They often also have a strategy (what they intend the structure to do to the reader) -- which affects tone and style and the compents or building blocks used.
Most effective personal essays move back and forth smooothly between some kind of recapitulaation of events and commentary on them.
Generally it's best not to announce your topic (no thesis)
Try to avoid a formal conclusion
