“I’m a farm girl,” Jessica Burson told Hollywood on the Potomac during an interview in Washington, DC. earlier this month.  “I was raised in a really male dominated culture so I was wearing cowboy boots and riding horses and driving tractors and then decided I was done with that chapter of my life.  I still have passion for it but am ready to take it to a different stage – that passion.  I then bought my first set of heels and have been chasing after the dream of becoming Miss America since then.”
