Parallel Structure Help

Would anyone be kind enough to help me to make this sentence so its parallel structure?

“While with my family, I also experienced something I do not see often back at home: this was the importance of family, the preservation of family values, and how each member of a family has a unique identity, pieced together to form one unified body.”

I had my teacher read over my whole essay and one of her corrections in the sentence was underlining the " ,and how" with parallel structure next to it. What would be the best way to correct this statement?

While with my family, I also experienced something I do not see often back at home: this was the importance of family, the preservation of family values, and the unique identity of each family member, pieced together to form one unified body.

With only this one sentence, it’s hard to correct it. are you saying that the family values are important? if yes, then…

While with my family, I also experienced something I do not see often back at home: this was the importance of family, of family values, and of the unique identity of each family member, pieced together to form one unified body.
