Stuck trying to figure out the code challenge

I am not completely clear as to what needs to be accomplished here to complete the code challenge. I even included "name" as a second parameter in the praise method to see if that would solve the problem but I am not having any luck. Thank you, in advance, for your time and assistance.

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Ricardo"

    def praise(self):
        if self.name:
            return print("I really like your hair today, {}!".format(self))

Student.praise()

In your return you need self.name. You just have self. You can delete the if statement and the Student.praise(). Also the return doesn't need the print statement. Just return the string.

Let me know if you need more help

I might need your help on the next challenge. I might not be fully understanding the directions quite yet on these challenges.
