According to the student pilot she was on her first solo supervised instructional flight. Her flight instructor had informed her to remain in closed traffic for runway 36 and complete three full stop landings. The student pilot departed and completed the first full stop landing and departed again. She made her second landing and initiated a touch-and-go. The airplane reached about 150 feet and the student pilot remembered her flight instructor wanted her to make a full stop landing. The student pilot pulled the throttle back, the airplane stalled, and landed hard on the runway.
