Narrative:

While doing a touch and go I was correcting for a slight crosswind. I had my left wing slightly down for the crosswind approach. I was higher off the runway then I perceived; so the plane came down on the left landing gear harder then expected. This force; along with the correction being put in for the crosswind started to yaw the plan to the left. I put in full power to try and go around; but it was to late. The rotating force had me facing off the runway. Adding power allowed me to level the wings and bring the plane to a safe stop off the side of the runway. I contacted the tower and taxied off the grass onto a taxiway. No damages were done. I think if I would have had more power in on the approach that I could have recovered without going off the runway.

Title: A Student pilot misjudged his Liberty XL2 height during landing and after a bounce he added power to arrest the descent so that the crosswind correction plus the P factor rotated his aircraft causing it land off the runway's edge.
