Couple of tips>

1) Keep your code indented properly as this make it easier to read

2) Remeber all tags need opening and closing versions.

3) place each new tag pair on a new line so you can spot issues quicker

Answer: You have a closing </h1> but no opening one. 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html> 
    <head> 
        <meta charset="utf-8"> 
        <title> <title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <header> 
            <h1> Sharon Hama </h1>
        </header>

        <section> 
        </section>

        <footer> 
        </footer>
    </body>

The h1 element was not escaped. What Jay is saying is that your 

<h1>

is not opened.
