Human Factors
I turned final and noticed I was losing altitude very quickly and the trees were getting close. I decided to start go-around procedures. During the process I could hear the trees scrape against the plane. Afterwards I flew to [the] VOR and never felt the aircraft act any different than before the incident.
A student pilot in a C152 mismanaged altitude control turning final and brushed tree tops prior to going around.
