"Hoisting" challenge question

I am not sure what I am doing wrong according to the challenge question to alter the function elevatorCloseButton for best practices for variables within a scope. What am I doing wrong?

My code looks like this

    function elevatorCloseButton(pushed) {
    var status = "I'll close when I'm ready.";
        if (pushed) {

        }

    }

    elevatorCloseButton(true);

Michealann, did you ever get this resolved? I'm stuck on the same problem.
