That push gave Andrade confidence that she has carried\u00a0 into a career as a crime scene investigator at the North Miami Police Department.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI will thank her for being that angel in my life that had the patience and the love to teach [me] important things in order [for me] to learn English,\u201d Andrade said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Andrade is one of hundreds of students Medina-Cabral has impacted during her three decades at Miami Dade College. Now, the 66-year-old professor is set to retire on May 31.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colleagues and students say they will miss her.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf she&#8217;s working with you, she supports you and works with you on the project until it&#8217;s done,\u201d said Leon Palombo, a professor in the Foreign Language Department at North who became friends with Medina-Cabral after they won a grant from the Center for the Advancement of Language and Cultural Studies in 2016. \u201cShe is an awesome friend that you can always count on in good and bad times.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medina-Cabral\u2019s love for languages began after she arrived in Providence, Rhode Island at a young age from the Dominican Republic. She soon discovered that she was the only student in her class who didn\u2019t speak English.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning a new language sparked an interest to study foreign languages and understand other cultures. Today, Medina-Cabral is fluent in English and Spanish and can speak some French and Portuguese.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her interest in languages was momentarily sidetracked in 1973 when she enrolled at Rhode Island College as an interior design student.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, one semester later she switched her major to Spanish literature and has never looked back since.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1978, she completed her master\u2019s degree in English as a Second Language at Rhode Island College. Seven years later, she became a Spanish professor at her alma mater and had a brief stint as a high school professor in Rhode Island.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medina-Cabral\u2019s career at MDC began in 1991 when she became a full-time faculty in the\u00a0 Department of Language Studies at Medical Campus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Five years later, she transferred to <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mdc.edu\/north\/esl\/faculty.asp\">North Campus\u2019 EAP and Foreign Languages Department<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShe encouraged us as students to always have a plan,\u201d said Yanitza Llanes, who was Medina-Cabral\u2019s ESL student in 2000 and is now an engineer. \u201cThat changed not just my personal life, but it also changed my academic life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2008, Medina-Cabral took a brief break from teaching and became the interim associate dean of academic affairs at Kendall Campus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A year later, she was back in the classroom teaching foreign languages at North Campus. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWorking directly with students is very fulfilling,\u201d Medina-Cabral said. \u201cWhen you see your students finally graduate, walk across the stage and receive their diploma, that is to me like I&#8217;m graduating.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her dedication was recognized in 2013 when she was appointed as a peer reviewer for the Fulbright Specialist Program by the United States Department of State.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2018, Medina-Cabral published <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">El Cambio De Las Estaciones (The Change Of Seasons), <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a novel that explores the position of women in Caribbean society throughout the twentieth century.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medina-Cabral, an avid reader of fiction<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">her favorite literary works include <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One Hundred Years of Solitude, Si la Mar Fuera de Tinta <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> From Whom the Bell Tolls<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">plans to continue dabbling in creative writing in retirement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI hope she enjoys her free time,\u201d Andrade said. \u201cShe deserves it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After arriving from Ecuador in 2015, Melani Andrade was hesitant to speak English because she feared her peers would ridicule her accent.\u00a0 But after she took an English for Academic Purposes course at North Campus, professor Myra Medina-Cabral encouraged her to speak up.
