OK, you got your point across that you want to have a beard, so the only question is whether you want to show it more intentional or more natural. I think the intentional look for you would show very well... start carving a neckline after several weeks of growing, keep the hair brushed good, perhaps establish a high cheek line if that line is not straight.  As for growing, you should see stubble in a few days and those hairs will keep growing to make the hair noticeable.  After a couple months, think about the style you want to have, let us know that and we'll help you go there. For now, keep growing and showing.
