Narrative:

I am a student pilot at [a] flight school at ZZZ airport. I was attempting my first solo flight and on the third and last landing I got into a bounce landing. I tried neutralizing the elevator; but it did not seem to help. The bouncing got more aggressive and I did not know what to do to remedy the situation. The propeller hit and bent and the nose wheel snapped off. Since the incident I have received bounce recovery training and will continue to do so until I feel confident in attempting my next solo flight.
