I'm lost here. Tried something, but I understand of course they want me to use the things I've just learned, and I'm trying to write code with some of the first things we learned. I'm completely lost please help.

first_class.py
class Student:
    name = "Your Name"

    def praise(self):
        return "You inspire me, {}".format(self.name)

    def reassurance(self):
        return "Chin up, {}. You'll get it next time!".format(self.name)

    def feedback(self, grade):
        if grade > 50:
            return self.praise()
        return self.reassurance()

This looks like the original code, it doesn't seem like you've started yet. The instructions tell you right off "you'll need to override the __init__ method", so start with that. Review the video if you'd like to see some examples of how that is done.
