No. Just having the word "like" or "as" doesn't make it a simile. You need to compare two things that are not the same-- and the example you gave does not do that. Here are two examples of similes: (1) Jack was as happy as a kid in a candy store. (2) Love is like a rose. Notice in both cases there is a comparison-- Jack is being compared to a kid in a candy store. Love is being compared to a rose (it's pretty to look at, but it can have thorns and hurt you).
