need help for shell programming

My purpose was to print out all of name of students in a list.First of all,I created a file name "List" in /home/tuan/Desktop/Shell_programming as below

Code:

Tom
Henry
Ben
Linda
Marry

And my script "script" is

Code:

#!/bin/sh
path=/home/tuan/Desktop/Shell_programming/List
for student in $path
do 
echo "$student"
done

At terminal I did :

Code:

tuan@tuan:~/Desktop/Shell_programming$ chmod +x script
tuan@tuan:~/Desktop/Shell_programming$ /.script
tuan@tuan:~/Desktop/Shell_programming$ ./script
/home/tuan/Desktop/Shell_programming/List
tuan@tuan:~/Desktop/Shell_programming$

Why after executing, the script displayed

Code:

/home/tuan/Desktop/Shell_programming/List

If I would like to print out the name of student. What should I change the code for my script
