Display Basic Shell script - Not working

Hello,
This is basic (i think). I am trying to run a shell script which would go into each folder (folder names defined in the list) and after entering would run some commands, once done, come out of the folder and continue until the list ends.
Pretty basic and there are bunch of example online.

Here is my code:
Code:
   
1 BENCH="a b c d"
2 
3 for l in "$BENCH"
4 do
5         echo "Going to $l Directory"
6         echo "$l"
7         cd $l
8         make clean
 9         echo "Starting Simulation"
10         make all  # This command takes hours to complete
11         echo "Simulation Done for $l"
12         cd ..
13 
14 done
 15 echo BYE

Now what is happening is, it takes the first on in the list, completes the make and prints out all the list name (in line 11). But does not necessarily continue with the other elements in the list.

What is happening here?

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
atf-sh(3) BSD
