微軟公主又美又厲害　比爾蓋茲女兒是馬術選手還是準醫師

有多年世界首富紀錄的微軟創辦人比爾蓋茲（Bill Gates），對三個孩子的教育方式是不少人的典範，他最重視的是孩子能夠找到自己的興趣、走出屬於自己的路，其中大女兒珍妮佛（Jennifer Gates）就在馬術上找到人生志趣，並成為優秀的馬術選手。

珍妮佛出生時爸爸就已經是世界首富，但她的成長過程卻低調又平凡，無論是外貌或性格都跟大家印像中的名媛大不相同，幾年前，比爾蓋茲就曾宣布自己只會留下非常小部分的財產給小孩，其他將全部都拿去做公益，而珍妮佛也從小就被餐桌上聊慈善的爸媽影響，對兒福相當關心，或許也是因為這樣的耳濡目染，讓她正往成為醫師的路走去。

First year of medical school ✅ ✨ While the last couple months were a bit different than expected, I’m so grateful to have met such an amazing group of colleagues, and to have learned from incredible physicians and professors this academic year. Already looking forward to year 2! 🤓

除了學業上的成就和擁有一顆溫暖的心，珍妮佛最為人所知也最厲害的專長就是馬術，她6歲開始學騎馬，很快就發現自己對馬術的熱情，於是平常管教甚嚴的比爾蓋茲，也願意砸錢買一間位在馬場附近、馬術愛好者聚集區的房子，讓女兒可以好好精進自己的實力。

比爾蓋茲和老婆對於小孩的興趣總是傾力支持，而珍妮佛也曾說，爸媽的信任以及鼓勵他們要充滿求知慾，是興趣發展成專業的基石，她不僅持續投入精力在馬術上，也時常參加比賽，雖然實力還沒有達到最頂尖，國內排名最高也來到第19名！

年初，24歲的珍妮佛和埃及男友納薩（Nayel Nassar）宣布訂婚，他們兩個也是因為馬術而結緣，納薩畢業後專心朝著選手路發展，他即將在明年成為埃及60年來首位參加奧運的馬術選手，志同道合的兩人將攜手共創未來，也會一直在馬術界發光。

SHE SAID YES!! 💍 I’m feeling like the luckiest (and happiest) man in the world right about now. Jenn, you are everything I could have possibly imagined..and so much more. I can’t wait to keep growing together through this journey called life, and I simply can’t imagine mine without you anymore. Love you more than you can possibly imagine, and thank you for making every single day feel like a dream to me. Here’s to forever! 😘❤️
