Hi Jessica!

You are almost there.

In your code you are already printing the item or po before you do the if statement. Basically all you need to do is flip the order you do them in. But, instead of just printing po after the if statement, print po in an else block instead.

Like so:

def loopy(items):
    for po in items:
        if po == "STOP":
            break
        else:            
            print(po)

Hope this works!

If it does not please let me know.

Thanks!
