Struggling to return a message in a class

Sorry to bother once again just really struggling with methods and stuff? The question is " This class should look familiar!

I need you to add a method name praise. The method should return a positive message about the student which includes the name attribute. As an example, it could say "You're doing a great job, Jacinta!" or "I really like your hair today, Michael!".

Feel free to change the name attribute to your own name, too!"

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Paul"
        def praise(self):
        return("I really like your hair today, {}".format(self))

You're close, but:

  • the "def" line is indented too far
  • the message should include the name ("self.name")
