I like the candor of this drawing. You did quite well considering how long you have been away from charcoal.
I think the drawing would have been better without the white highlights. I never liked adding white to a charcoal. (I never mix drawing media anyway.) The white highlights are a little overdone in some areas, but overall, I think you have a pleasing style and a good eye for form.
I think the eyes perhaps are a little small. It is sometimes good to error on the side of the eyes being too big than too small.
