graduate student and a professional? social worker?

One of my biggest limitations that I see would affect me as a social worker is not being able to communicate thoroughly when I find myself not knwing the rules and regulations of certain things. How can I make this sound not so negative.
 
You are right. You want to show that you know yourself, and that you are working on anything that will make you better, without sounding like you have too many problems to do the job.
One way to come up with a limitation is to show which strengths you have that may need to be tempered. Such as, "I am a hard worker who really cares about what I do. I have had to learn to pace myself and make sure that I don't carry stress home with me. "

For the limitation that you mentioned, maybe you could say something like this:
I do not want to misinform the client, so my communication falters when I am unsure of the regulations that apply to a particular situation. I am working to thoroughly familiarize myself with current and new regulations.

Bless you for going into social work. You will be providing a needed service. Stand up for the kids!!
