JACKSON, Wyo. — Central Wyoming College presents “Central Wyoming College Teton Talks,” a free series of speaker events held on the fourth Tuesday of every month.
The next talk will be “My Educational Journey: Stories of Central Wyoming College English Language Learners,” on Tuesday, Nov. 28, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Teton County Library’s Ordway Auditorium. Presenters Guadalupe Esquivel, Antonio Guarneros and Elizabeth Bedolla will speak about how learning English has helped their paths toward future jobs, share their stories of education and dreams for careers.
Guadalupe Esquivel started in housekeeping, and recently got a job with Whole Foods, after interviewing 100% in English. She loves her job, and has recruited another Central Wyoming College student to work with her in the Bakery and Cake Decorating department at Whole Foods. Esquivel has three adult children, one of whom graduated from Jackson Hole High School, and is attending school in Houston to become a veterinary assistant. Guadalupe also has two grandchildren. Guadalupe plans to study investments after she completes the ESL program.
Antonio Guarneros grew up in Hueyotlipan, Tlaxcala, Mexico. His first time in Jackson was in 2012, but he was going to Mexico every year until 2020. Since 2020 he has been here in Jackson. Antonio is married and has two young daughters; one in elementary school in Jackson. Antonio works as a tile installer and hopes to own his own tile installation business in the future.
