Rejection That Changed Briana Zalewsky’s Life
For years, Briana Zalewski believed becoming a physician assistant would give her the purpose she was searching for. After earning a pre-medical undergraduate degree, working in health care and facing repeated rejection from PA programs, she wondered whether her dream would ever become a reality.
Then she found Cedarville University.
From her on-campus interview, Briana sensed Cedarville was different. Moving away from her home near Detroit, she entered a Christ-centered community where classmates prayed with her, professors encouraged her and faculty demonstrated what it meant to make Jesus central to every part of life.
Briana came to Cedarville to become a physician assistant. But through studying Scripture, prayer and relationships with people devoted to Christ, she discovered something far greater: a personal relationship with Jesus.
Her newfound faith sustained her through the demands of PA school, clinical rotations and significant life changes. Today, Briana is back in suburban Detroit, caring for patients at a dermatology practice with compassion and an eternal perspective. Briana’s time at Cedarville didn’t just prepare her for a career; it changed the trajectory of her life.
Listen as Briana shares how rejection ultimately redirected her toward faith, purpose and a transformed life.
