I have no idea what I'm doing wrong!

what am I doing wrong? I assigned the method with the attribute being that name that's called, yet the program says I didn't do it right.

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Darnell"

    def praise(self):
        return print("You're doing a great job, {}".format(self.name))

Student().raise()

On the return you don't need the print method - it's only asking for you to return the message (string).

Removing the print part and the call you make at the bottom (Student().raise()) will pass the challenge.
