---

</section>

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Create a document instance using the <code>Person</code> constructor you built before. Pass to the constructor an object having the fields <code>name</code>, <code>age</code>, and <code>favoriteFoods</code>. Their types must conform to the ones in the Person Schema. Then call the method <code>document.save()</code> on the returned document instance. Pass to it a callback using the Node convention. This is a common pattern, all the following CRUD methods take a callback function like this as the last argument.

```js
/* Example */

// ...
person.save(function(err, data) {
  //   ...do your stuff here...
});
```
