Paul was an apostle, but not a disciple. The disciples were those who walked and talked with Jesus personally, but the apostles were those who spread the Good News of Christ to other lands.
Another response:
Paul was an apostle because he was "called" and "sent out" into ministry by Jesus Christ. According to the account of Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus, as told in the Book of Acts, Paul experienced a vision of the Resurrected Jesus who called him to be an apostle.
In many Christian Denominations, anyone who is specifically called and set apart for a particular ministry might be given the title of "Apostle." The word often is used interchangeably with the word "missionary."
The word "disciple" indicates a "follower." In the Christian Scriptures, there were many more disciples following Jesus beyond the well-known 12 Disciples. One text mentions 500 disciples. Believers who follow the teachings of Jesus today are frequently called disciples. There is an entire denomination, The Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, who use the word disciple to indicate church members.

Can a man call himself an apostle in the present time?
The word 'apostle' comes from the Greek for 'messenger', so it would be quite rational for someone to refer to him or herself as an apostle, especially in a religious context. However, it may be more difficult to be taken seriously in making that claim.More:Biblically, one of the qualifications to be an apostle of Christ, you must have been with him in person. Paul qualified when Christ appeared to him in the vision on the road to Damascus.So no one alive today would qualify to be an apostle of Jesus Christ, but might call themselves an apostle of someone else.

Why is Paul considered by many people to be another apostle?
The word apostle means "one sent forth" it is used to in relation to the twelve disciples chosen by the Lord for special training: Luke 6:13 And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles: Paul, though he had seen the Lord Jesus, had not been part of the twelve during Christ's earthly ministry, and hence was not really eligible for a place among them. However Paul was commissioned directly, by the Lord Himself, after His Ascension, to carry the gospel to the Gentiles.
