Narrative:
When landing at my first solo airport; I called the tower ten miles out they told me to report three miles. Three miles out I reported final they cleared me to land. When landing there was a thirty degree cross wind I adjusted for it. When landing my left main touched first then my right main then my nose wheel. When rolling down the runway I had a propeller strike which threw me to the left of the runway into the grass. While adjusting to go back onto the runway off to my right; the wing tip tapped the ground. After pulling back onto the runway I checked for any airframe damage. There was no damage that I could feel or see besides the propeller. A way to prevent this problem from happening is to practice landings at different airports around the area and not just be contained around the general area. What I really think happened was since there was great wind gust; the light cessna 152 did slightly wheelbarrow effect and the propeller tapped the ground.
