Being let go from your position is an unfortunate event; however, it happens to the best of us and often for situations that are out of our control. It's best to own up to it if you have ever lost your job. Be brief in your explanation but also let the interviewer know what you learned.

"I experienced a termination once before. Earlier in my career, I was not as prompt as I am today. After coming to work late a couple of times, my boss let me go. It was embarrassing, and I learned a lot from the situation. I am much more dedicated to my work now. I am reliable and have not been late for work in years."
