Whats everyone story of how they got into nursing school?

Sort of bored and sort of feeling discouraged. My grades are fine but I love to see the stories of how people got into nursing school at different ages, when they started, what they had to retake, if people just had a straight easy process and applied and etc. Im planning on applying to nursing school soon and feel discouraged and setback because there is one class I am missing and I did not know. I am worried I am behind at 21 years old. Anyways would love to hear everyone's story even if they have nothing interesting to say INCLUDE ALL THE DETAILS I love reading all the details :) Happy new years everyone !
