①Have you got many friends around you? Have you ever been sad about not having good friends in your life? If yes, do you think about your own company (陪伴) is not enough to make them happy? As a matter of fact, in order to get along with others, the first thing you need to do is to be friends with yourself.
②Listen to your inner voice. Remember that inner voice keeps whispering to you about what you really want and need as well as what you do not really want or need. It is time you start listening to it. In order to get to know yourself well, it is important to learn and accept what you want and what you do not want.
③Learn to enjoy your own company. You will be surprised to find out how many things you can do by yourself and actually have fun in the process. Reading romantic novels, poetry or science fictions is only a few of the things that you can do by yourself, which can offer you not only hours of enjoyment, but also the chance to get to know yourself better.
④Satisfy yourself. Pay special attention to your personal hygiene (个人卫生). Do your hair and nails often with new styles. Follow a healthy diet and exercise often to stay in good shape. No matter how busy you are, always find at least an hour per day for yourself to relax either by doing absolutely nothing or doing something that you enjoy.
⑤Learn to respect your own boundaries (底线). Find out what your boundaries are and learn to respect them. You are the only one who knows what you can and what you cannot accept. No one else can point that out to you, or force you to compromise (妥协).

Maybe we three were the most unlucky graduates in our school history. I'll never forget the day when we had our graduation ceremony (毕业典礼).
I was known for being careless. I often fell down for no reason. Since I fell off the stage (舞台) during my Primary Graduation Ceremony my family bet that I would fall down again during my next graduation ceremony. The day came so quickly. This time, I proudly made it through the whole ceremony without falling, but I knocked over the whole backdrop (背景板) used to take pictures for graduates. I felt so embarrassed (尴尬的) the whole morning.
My friend Julia was even more embarrassed. When she together with all the graduates was sitting quietly in the hall at eight in the morning, she didn't expect her father to come to attend her ceremony because he was really busy then. The hall was very quiet and you could even hear a pin (针) drop on the ground. When all of a sudden, out of the silence, she heard "Hey, Julia!" Everyone in the hall looked behind and found Julia's father, with a camera in his hand, smiling at her!
Tiffany was the most beautiful girl of us three. She loved all kinds of dresses. On that day, she dressed herself beautifully and wanted to have some beautiful photos. Unluckily, it was one of the windiest days of our life. The wind blew her beautiful dress up in front of the whole graduate class! She didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Lucky? Unlucky? So lucky! All of these became the unforgettable part of our life!

Her best-known series include drawings of women from the Tang Dynasty and classic images (形象) from Dunhuang art.

Jiao pays a lot of attention to details. She has bought lots of books and studied ancient paintings to make sure she can draw things correctly.
