How do I set admitted to true?

The bool value of admitted is false, but when I type in not admitted. I typed in "not admitted", but its value is still not true

conditions.py 
admitted = None
age = 16
if age >= 13:
  not admitted

booleans in python start with a capital letter.

my_boolean_value = True
the_sky_is_green = False

Also, it want you to assign a new value to admitted

# in your code
admitted = None
...
  not admitted   # admitted is still equal to None. You haven't changed it using "not".
# you want to assign a new value to variable admitted.
