Narrative:
Student pilot on first solo flight into practice area. While cruising at 5000 ft MSL, I inadvertently broke class B airspace for approximately 4 mi. I was within 1-2 mi of the outer 20 NM ring throughout. Upon awareness, I immediately descended to 2500 ft MSL and exited the class B airspace.
