Meira: I was eight when I started playing and I've loved it ever since.

695:  How did you get started?

695:  What was the highlight of your summer?

Meira: The highlight of my summer was at the Boo Williams tournament and in Ohio with the Stars when we had the opportunity to play in front of lot college coaches. It was a great opportunity because I received several DI college letters.

695:  What are you looking forward to during your freshman season?

695:  What do you want to add to your game?

Meira: Currently I'm working on strength and agility. I would like to become faster and to strengthen my legs so that I can dunk by next year. I'm also working on my jumper and ball handling.

695:  All these McDonogh players trying to dunk. Who is your favorite player?

695:  Who is the funniest teammate you have ever had?

The funniest teammate I've ever had is India Myles with the B-More Hoopsters. Together we would always make practice fun and join the team together by creating nicknames for everyone.

695: What type of artists do you have on your ipod?

Meira: Currently I have a lot of Beyonce, Diggy, Lil Wayne, Jay Z, and Drake. I really liked their latest songs and I always listen to them before I step on the court to play.

695:  Can you dance or do you just stand around at the parties?

Meira: I do a little of both, depends on the crowd.
