What's the answer?

I've gone through the last video twice and have applied the <nav>, <article>, and <aside> in every way I learned how but it never checks out. What am I doing wrong?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>My Portfolio</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <nav>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
    </ul>
    </nav>


   <article>
    <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1> 
    <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>
    </article>

    <h2>Welcome</h2> 
    <p>Fusce semper id ipsum sed scelerisque. Etiam nec elementum massa. Pellentesque tristique ex ac ipsum hendrerit, eget feugiat ante faucibus.</p>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #1</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #2</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #3</a></li>     
    </ul>

    <p>&copy; 2017 My Portfolio</p>

  </body>

Hello Joseph. you need to use the <header> </header>

Like this:

  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>My Portfolio</title>
  </head>
  <body>
     <header> // HERE <---
       <ul>
         <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
         <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
         <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
       </ul>
       <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1> 
       <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>
    </header> // <-- HERE

    <h2>Welcome</h2>

Try to understand each of the semantic tags' function. In this case, you're looking for an element which contains introductory content and the <header> element does exactly that. You can read more about HTML5 Semantic Elements here.
