"I heard you might get lecturer of the year with the pace you're heading." Daniel Spear spoke, falling in line with me as I made my way from the lecture hall and towards my office, which was the left way down the staff room.
I rolled my eyes, but my cheeks heated at his bold proclamation. "I'm just doing my job, Mr Spears," I answered.
"You're doing more than your job. The students love your class, and you have held a record-breaking attendance at the university ever since you came. Let's not forget you broke a record for being the youngest professor this institution ever had. These are more than mere proclamations." he gushed out in awe.
