"It is imperative to be on time for my commitments. Whether that be work, school, or when I volunteer for the animal shelter, I plan my days well and leave my house early, so there are no surprises."

Timeliness is everything, especially in a role where there may be shift work and other people depending on you to arrive at work on time. Assure the interviewer that you are a reliable employee who shows up on time and respects the needs of others. If you have a work history, you can mention the ways that you show your employer and teammates that they can rely on you. If you are new to your career, you can use school, sports, or volunteer work as your example.

"My father always told me that if you are not 10 minutes early, you are late. I have lived by that adage most of my career. I am proud to say that I am reliable, trustworthy, and see value in showing up for others in a capacity that exceeds their expectations."
