That statement is false.

Accoring to expectancy theory, we would most likely have higher motivation to complete a task if we believe that we have a necessary skill set to accomplish it. In Leticia's situation, i believe Leticia would be much more likely to give up and pursue another interest rather than pursuing the thing that she has a small chance of completing.
