Now, make an instance of your class named me.Then print() out the name attribute of your instance.

I am unsure why this is not running? It keeps giving me an error that says to use me.name, but I'm pretty sure I did.

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Victoria"

me = Student()
print (me.name)

Hey there, if you didn't figure it out already, it's not your code, it's the checker. I don't think it's actually running the code, but checking your syntax, so it matters how it's formatted. Whilst print () will work in python, the checker isn't expecting a space between the print function and the parenthesis. Just change it to print(me.name) and it'll pass :)
