@joshpear87 Very nice that you share your Story, always amazes me and motivates me to keep grinding. One little point of critique: It would be even more inspiring, if your Fotos would be more comparable (lighting, pose etc), one extra pic for showing off ist still welcome though!
I think it's more healthy for everyone who starts so that the expectation isn't "from zero to hero in no time". Hope you understand what I am trying to say, no offense bro! Looking good and keep it going!!
