Yes, you're pretty close. All of your code is correct but you have to think about the order of your statements.
What if item is equal to "STOP"? You're going to print "STOP" then you check if it's equal to "STOP" and break out.
The challenge doesn't want you to print "STOP". So you have to check for that first and break out. Otherwise, you can print the item.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsYes, you have to do your if check first and then the print. You have to swap the if block and the print statement.
