Topic: I would like for you to reflect on your experience overall this school year. Tell me about your struggles and wins. Even if they were small wins. What helped you get through this school year? What did
you like about it the most and what did you dislike?

This question is about you opinion and how you felt about this school year.  but you could say something like I struggled with the online format because Its harder to focus online. Or if you liked it you could say something like i liked it because I had more free time and flexibility with my time.

Explanation:

Sorry if this is not really helpful but I have no idea how you felt about this year so in the end I could not answer with how you felt;)

usually, crying is seen as unprofessional, but nowadays, most employers or fellow employees will be understanding of your distress and they will usually be authentic.   but you should try to hold it in or say that you need a break and wait until after the meeting when you've had a chance to calm down to discuss the issue that is going on. hope that !
