General aviation flight instructor reported a solo student pilot lost control during an aborted take...

Narrative:

One of my student pilots was on a traffic pattern solo. This was not the student's first solo; and all was going well. The student completed two touch and goes successfully. The student stated that on the next touch and go they forgot to put the flaps up before applying full power. The nose began to lift before the student was expecting it to do so because of the full flaps still extended. The student pulled power to idle but had already begun to drift to the left. The aircraft remained on the ground and veered off the left of the runway. A runway edge light was broke and minor damage was done to the aircraft when hitting the light. No injuries; near misses; or collisions occurred. The student was able to taxi the aircraft safely back to the airport ramp and shut down. Wind was light; and weather was not a factor.as the student's primary instructor; I believe this was simply a minor mistake made by a student pilot. The student has shown a history of being a phenomenal pilot; both in decision making skills and actual stick and rudder skills. During instruction; we have always practiced raising flaps after landing before applying power when practicing touch and goes. As the instructor; I had and still have every confidence in my student's ability to conduct a safe solo local flight. There were no injuries or major damage. Most importantly; the student is eager to continue flight training.
