Congrats!!!!
There is no better feeling than being up there on your own at the controls of an airplane!
I like this video.

Especially at about 0:50 to 1:05 where she realizes she's just completed her first solo takeoff and then again at about 5:05 where she makes her first solo landing.
The smile on her face says it all. And looks like she mouths "perfect" after her first landing...and it appear to have been.
Best of luck!
By John Gillespie Magee, Jr.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air....
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace.
Where never lark, or even eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
- Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
