Any help explaining how to use "this" is appreciated. Thank you!

Just remember that this is always equal to the object that "owns" the function you called. So if you have:

var cat = {
  name: "Whiskers",
  meow: function(){
    console.log("Meow. I'm " + this.name);
  }
}

...and you call:

cat.meow();

...any this inside the meow function will be equal to cat.
