Hey CKing:
I just cannot understand why schools have rules about no facial hair. Those rules do not help education. I got a great education, and in college and grad school had a great education. You do have blond facial hair. Blond beards look really sweet when they are grown in. You will need to give it some time. You already have a nice respectable chin and mustache. Now, time will help it. What happens if you let the rest of your beard grow out? Is that a possibility now?

Whatever happens, just have fun and enjoy your beard. Glad you are here.
Tom
