Hi Jeremy,

To allow both elements and text content in an element add mixed="true"
to the complex type for that element. Note that you have placed
incorrectly all the elements except the root element in no namespace
instead of schema target namespace. You can find below a corrected
instance and an updated schema to allow mixed content in all the
elements that contain mixed content in the sample instance document.
