Functions, Packing, and Unpacking Task 2/2

I am not following what the code is asking. What am I doing wrong?

Call the hello_student() function and save the return value to a variable called hello.

creating_functions.py 
def hello_student(name):
    hello = 'Hello ' + name
    return hello

hello_student(name)

You have misunderstood the challenge slightly.

def hello_student(name):
    return "Hello " + name

hello = hello_student("Tom")

It wants you to call the function and save that inside the variable hello.
