Rachel Jeantel, one of Trayvon Martin's best friends and witness to his death graduated from high school this week.
According to Global Grind, the glowing teen was seen with the Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump at the ceremony. Jeantel was 17-years-old when she testified for against George Zimmerman last year during the Trayvon Martin Murder case. The teen was mocked for her demeanor on the stand and was called an "embarrassment to the black community."
After the case, she received support from civil rights activists and was placed with mentors to improve her skills in reading, writing and math.
Last summer, syndicated radio host Tom Joyner granted her a full college scholarship to any historic black college she chooses to go to.
