Man, I’m freaking amazed at the community around [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com)… more mind boggling is the fact that Kirupa is still in high school… and he’s written a book… yeah… he’s pretty much going to get in wherever he wants. ---

Yes, Kirupa’s story has been very inspirational, it just goes to show how much you can achieve if you set your mind to it. I goofed around in highschool and now I’m a designer…Oh wait, that’s what I wanted to do in the first place so nevermind, that wasn’t a good example. haha =) ---
