However, there are people in our area trying to help with the problem, even those who have been through it. Durran Warren of Williamson, West Virginia grew up in a happy home. Good grades, decent athlete, but at 18, things took a turn for the worse. Eventually I dropped out of college. Became full time criminal. About four years later, I was sentenced to seven years and three months in federal prison. Warren was charged with conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine. However, behind bars, he had time to reflect. Most of the time I was there, I questioned and thought, why am I here? I could be anywhere. But I'm standing here in the middle of a prison yard. And the reality is, I thought I wasn't supposed to be there. But looking back on it, I was right where God wanted me. I had to go through that to get where I'm at today. Wanting to be a part of the solution, instead of the problem, Warren decided to further his education. Now Warren has two master's degrees. One in counseling and business administration. He is now a counselor at Logan Mingo Mental Health. God has placed some really good people in my life. During that time, when I was living illegally, there were many times that I probably shouldn't even be here in front of his camera. But he held his hands on me and kept me safe. He's placed the right people in my life to guide my career. So that's what I mean when I say it's very humbling because I couldn't get out of that lifestyle on my own. And there's no way I would have walked across that stage without him guiding my life. If you know someone who should be featured on Get To Know, email GetToKnow at ekbtv.com.
