Although 8-year-old Aman Rehman produced over 1,000 cartoons himself. He now teaches animation animation techniques at the Interactive Art University of Dehra Dun, Uttaranchal, India. Every day Aman still goes to school like every other student and every week he goes to class one day to teach students who are dozens of years older. Aman often had to stand on the chair to lecture, but he was always confident when standing in front of "students".

'Whenever I take a long break, I always work with the computer for at least 8 hours. During normal days I can only spend 4 hours on the computer because I have to complete the school work. I can work for many software companies like Adobe, Flash, Firework, Dream Weaver, Maya, 3D Max, After Affects. I am currently involved in projects on black holes in the universe, alien creatures and clean water conservation, ' Rehman said.

Rehman's father is an illiterate motorbike repairer in Dehra Dun City. Despite working hard all day, he earns only about 60 pounds (nearly 1.5 million VND) each month to feed his unemployed wife and three children. Because of illiteracy, Rehman wants them to be educated. When the eldest son passed university, he tried to save money to buy an old computer for his oldest son.

Aman was fascinated by the computer. He watched each of his clicks, and when his brother went to college he secretly turned on his computer and found out for himself. When he was three and a half years old, Aman mastered animation techniques and made a film about the dance of letters.

"At first I didn't know Aman's passion, but when I found it, I was surprised. I spoke to some computer experts, but they didn't care. I had a small mechanical workshop, but because Aman only cares about animation, my wife and I want to let her pursue her hobby , 'Mr. Rehman said.

Following a friend's advice, the father took Aman Rehman to the University of Interactive Art in Dehra Dun. Of course, the school leader didn't want to let the boy go to school at first. After a week of persuasion and no results, Mr. Rehman asked the teachers to watch the boy manipulate the computer. They were really impressed by Aman's level and agreed to accept him.

Within the first 5 months, Aman wrote his own software program on animation. He also completed an animated film course for 3 months, while other students had to study for 15 months. When Aman's newspaper wrote about talent, Bhuvan Chandra Khanduri, Uttaranchal state chief, gave him a laptop. Indian President also awarded rewards to young university lecturers.

The Rehman family believes that Aman is the youngest university lecturer on the planet. Mr. Rehman sent the file to the Guinness Book of Records to recognize their youngest achievements.
