Ill. teen mom graduates high school with honors

A teen mom has defied all odds by graduating at the top of her Chicago high school class.

Trameka Pope gave birth just three days before her freshman year of high school.

"Eighth grade I found out that I was pregnant,” said Pope.

Next month she will graduate from Phillips High as valedictorian.

She keeps a rigorous schedule, in addition to working part-time and raising her child.
