First_classs.py issue

So I thought this was correct but I keep getting bummer, I'm fairly certain I consistently used spaces, I can't figure out what's wrong, maybe I misunderstood the question. Please help.

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Any Name"
    def praise(self):
        return("You're doing a amazing, {}".format(self))

name = Student.name
Student.praise(name)

Sorry, missed one point earlier. Need to replace format(self) with format(self.name) as well.

Hi Carter, am sorry, I dint look at the challenge earlier.

Remove the part under end of Class (i.e. from name = ...onwards) + replace "self" with "self.name" in format (format(self.name) - and it should work

Actually instance is initiated and called by the testing code itself.

Thank you, but I'm not sure that's working for me. :/

Bummer: Didn't find the name in the praise message. Be sure to use the instance attribute!
