At twelve years old， Dre Evans felt so proud to participate in his first drive-by shooting。

Everyone craves belonging and purpose in life。 How far would you go to satisfy that need？

Dre started by joining a Chicago street gang。 But one terrifying day， as bullets flew past his head， he wondered if that desire was worth dying for。

His answer—and a conversation with a man he viewed as his enemy—prompted Dre and his brothers to abandon the urban battleground and join an elite new gang: the US military。 They would make history as the first set of African-American triplets accepted into the Air Force， Naval， and Merchant Marine Academies。

In this unfiltered coming-of-age memoir， Dre shares his inspiring story， challenges the stigma surrounding the word “gang，” and offers a fresh perspective on how to live a fulfilling life。 Prove Them Wrong invites readers on a journey of self-discovery that defies the odds assigned by society。
