Last year in my high school child-development class，each student had to take the “Think-It-Over” baby home for a night to get a taste of parenthood．

It was a Friday night when my turn came to take the 10-pound plastic doll home．The doll really did look like a live baby from a distance．It even had a pleasant baby powder smell．I took the baby home and named him Tyler．

My friends and I went out for supper that night．As it was rather cold, I decided to wrap Tyler in a blanket and carry him in that way．When I walked into the restaurant, I noticed some very strange looks and quite a few raised eyebrows．My friends and I decided to make a game out of the whole situation．I stood in the Gorner pretending to rock Tyler to while my friends kept looking into the blanket and said, “Oh, how lovely．” I could not but laugh．And although it was funny to my friends and me, some of the people did think it was so funny that  I had a baby．I overheard one couple say，“Why would she g a baby here?” These people were giving me rude looks and forming judgments about because they thought I was a teenage mom．Others just smiled at me pathetically（同情地） and felt sorry for me because I was only a child with a children our meal，my friends and I received strange looks from the others in the restaurant．So glad to finally go home．

I learned a lot through my experience with the“Think-It-Over”baby．The doll strengthened my thinking I was not ready to be a parent, but it also made me e aware of the larger picture．It opened my eyes to the judgments people make about．People do not realize that some things are not the way they seem．I was only taking it around for a class project．The people in the restaurant were so quick to judge because they thought I was a teenage mom．I sometimes catch myself judging people I not know, just because of the first impression they give．In reality, I have no idea about real stories．We should all be slower to judge others，and realize that some things are as they seem．

Prison Break is a huge hit thanks to its handsome star，Wentworth Miller． His actor, Michael Scofield, is the engine that drives the show．

Michael Scofield is one of the most interesting personalities on television today．But what about the man behind the character?

Miller，35，is a hard guy to figure out．He does not come from a normal background and has never lived his life in a typical way．

Milier didn't take a direct path to fame and fortune．He graduated from Princeton University in 1995，not with a degree in theatre or film, but in English．He didn't even act when he was in college．His only performance experience was in his university's singing group．Yet, at graduation Miller still decided to make the move to Hollywood．

Miller has always been different．Although he is American, he was born in Britain when his father was studying there．His family background is also a special mix of cultures．“My father is black and my mother is white．That means I have always been caught in the middle．I could be either one, which can make you feel out of place，”Miller says．

Following his unusual path，Miller did not start trying out for films and TV shows when he first got to Hollywood．Instead, he worked as a lowly production assistant．Not what you would expect  from a Princeton graduate．However, it all paid of for Miller in the end．

In 2002，Miller played a role in the drama Dinotopia．He starred as a thoughtful and shy man．Producers remembered his performance when they were casting Prison Break two years later．With a golden globe nomination（提名） and another season of Prison Break on his resume（履历），Miller seems ready to take over all of Hollywood．
