Analysis
The student stated that on her fourth landing of the day, she felt she was too FAR down the runway and to high to make a good landing, so she "put in flaps and power and was going to make a go-around." Reportedly, the aircraft landed, she lost directional control and the plane crossed a parallel taxiway. The pilot reported that she saw trees (brush) on the side of the taxiway and tried to pull up, but there was not enough room and the aircraft landed in trees. Also, she stated that she did not fully understand all procedures involved in the go-around.
