My instructor grabbed in and dove a bit because I was headed at the power lines.
If your instructor let you get into so much trouble, and let you crash so much, I'd have found another instructor, QUICKLY!

IMO that's one of the major problems with pass-the-box that the buddy box cures. It simply allows the student too much time to get in too much trouble. If the instructor had been able to interdict sooner the crash may have been avoided. Unsteady newbies should not be allowed to fly into unsafe areas by their instructors.
