Kruger, raised in foster care after her parents split, lives alone now and receives state supervision as she nears graduation from Washington High School. She plans to attend Kirkwood or Mount Mercy College after graduation, works 20 to 30 hours weekly at a doughnut shop, and takes early bird PE classes to manage a 32.5 credit load. She credits staying true to herself and saying no to temptations as key to staying on track.
