you dont need to include the entire class file, main method, etc, just the code the task asks for.

task 1 states: Define a string variable named firstName that stores your name. Set the value to your name.

and you wrote:

String firstName = "Dorcas";

which is correct, but just take out all the other code so that the only code in the in the challenge window is 

String firstName = "Dorcas";
