The student pilot stated that on the flare for the second full stop landing, the right wing dropped and the airplane yawed to the right. He corrected the roll and yaw with left aileron and left rudder respectively and the airplane began drifting to the right. The student then applied power and the left wing of the airplane contacted the ground followed by the nose section of the airplane.
