When we're young, we go through 'growth spurts,' during which our bodies change significantly. We can quickly grow taller, or gain or lose weight. For many people, this is a difficult and uncomfortable process. For some, it's like going into a chrysalis and emerging as a beautiful butterfly. For this man, it was definitely the latter.
It's hard to believe that there are only two years between these pictures, but he's 19 in the picture on the left, and 21 in the picture of the life. He still has the winning smile in both shots, but everything else has changed in a big way. He's dropped a lot of weight, and he's grown his hair out to the point where it's like a lion's mane, framing his face! We imagine cutting back on pints of full sat soda helped a lot.
